Wanted-Camel Mk1 or 2 Front Brake Plate

Post by Steve Brown »

As above I'm looking for a 140mm drum brake backing plate if you can help? I am happy to do some restoration but even more happy if you have a good one or even NOS? I'm in UK for postage etc, am happy to buy or trade some of my stuff.
Please PM me here if you can help.

Hi Steve, I think the Armstrong MT500 used the same sized Grimeca hub/brake plate?
Or you fit the slightly larger complete front wheel from a Kanguro if really stuck?

Good luck with the quest, Ian

Thanks Ian, I hadn't thought about the Armstrongs-good idea! I'm out of Kanguro wheels too, now! They got used for the flat track project...
What I'm planning is a second set of wheels so that I can have a choice of tyres for different rides. I have a hub and a rim, just missing the back plate. I even have spare new shoes!
