Rear hub issue - 550 k3

<< < (7/9) > >>

Ewan 500 K1:
.. new liners can be machined from morris minor hubs  :o  ...... appraently

Pretty well what I did but not a morris drum, a car out of the local river, dumped after it caught fire in the 80's was the source of my 'new' drum liner. Job requires a lathe with enough swing over the bed for the bare hub, a freezer and either removal of the hub bearings and use of an oven, or gas torch if the bearings are reluctant to move. Luxury is having a lathe like my new(er to me) lathe which can handle the full wheel, tyre included. Easyest fix is comstars off a 650 nighthawk, reading this forum I'm glad I have a few spares stocked up, especially as I intend to be using my 500 all year round again soon and like the convienience of having a spare on the shelf with a good tyre, I really hate changing tyres in frosty weather in an unheated barn - probably why every bike I own has a spare set of wheels.

Little update on this

I have managed to source a new set of cush rubbers.
Was very lucky that some came up on CMSNL

I have ordered them so hope they are the right ones when they turn up - fingers crossed

So with a new bearing retainer ring sorted and a new sprocket carrier - thanks oddjob & mickwinf.
The only fly in the ointment is i still have a cracked brake lining so will still need to sort that with either another hub or a reline which i am hoping matthewmosse can help with.

Really appreciate all the help on this.

Its another little job nearly fixed

Cheers all

Search the site I posted the address of a man in huddersfield who can reline your hub even if it has the rim on
