A stab in the dark....Brake calipers?
« on: October 08, 2015, 09:38:02 PM »
OK, has anyone any experience or knowledge of early KO front brakes. I have an aftermarket caliper that was botched onto my fork leg which has made me purchase another leg. Has anyone found an aftermarket set up that bolts onto an early leg without to much meccano work. I don't know how early original set ups worked, were they good or bad? should I keep looking for another better set up?
This is going on my chopper so not a restoration job.
I'm not a complete idiot.....some parts are still missing.

You will need to modify the bracket that bolts on to the slider to make it a "mirror Image" Invlves making spacers and removing some material
