Can i fit a moto morini 3 1/2 rear sport brake drum on a strada both wire wheel. I know they will have to laced on a new alloy rim

I think the answer to your question is yes?
A Sport wheel will fit in a Strada swining arm, yet the drum/cush drive sizes are different

Thanks for your reply

According to the parts book the spindle spacers have different part numbers.

Hi yes thought that. I tried the hub in place but its to wide to fit in the swing arm

HI crown gear supporting bush number 24 table 15 a in the nlm parts book is also longer. but Doug at midia italia has them for sale in stainless steel if any body wants one

Hi i need a set of brake ( rear) shoes for a 1974 moto morini sport with a 180 mm drum . does any body know if a any other make with fit them please thank you ps dont have old ones to reline

Hi Gareth,
Do you have the old shoes, but that they are simply worn out?
If so, why not get them relined by a relining company?
Villiers Services (Wolverhampton) or Saftek (Cleckheaton) both spring to mind as companies that do excellent work at very reasonable cost.

Hi George. like i said have no old ones thanks for reply

Yes you can. But you need the whole stuff of the 180 mm brake, plate carrier, damper, the bored half- axle, lh Sparer, chaintensioner, Spindel. All these parts are diferent to the 160.mm strada wire brake ! These parts are the same as for the 180 cast wheels.

yes have every thing but the brake shoes thanks

They are the same as for the 180 cast wheels

cant find any where

I suggest you search for Ferodo, EBC etc brake shoes and get them either direct.
Or armed with the part numbers then search the net or better still phone.
eg MandP will either have them in stock or order them in, yet you won't find them on their web site unless you know the EBC/Ferodo part number.

Lots of bikes used Grimeca wheels/drums so it shouldn't be that hard to source?

Good luck with the quest

Hi,
They might work, they might not, but 'Classic Ducati' show some narrow case single 180mm front brake shoes for sale. Unfortunately the rears listed are 160mm.
See:[url]https://www.classicducati.com/products/ ... e-shoes-1/ [url] .
Ducati also used Grimeca, so could be worth contacting them and ask?
