1937 Aero Rear Brake
« on: 11 Nov 2012 at 15:05 »
Has any one got detail of the rear brake fulcrum arm and is there a bush that fits between the frame? any information or bits.
If any one has a drawing it would be a great help if I need to make one.

Neil,
       Yes there is a bush between the frame and brake backplate. 'Oily Bloke' asked the same question regarding his EW about 18 months ago. I posted a reply with photo and dimensions. The bush for your bike will be similar. If you are looking to make a new brake arm, the splines are the same as those in the drive gear for the pancake dynamo - I roughed out my splines, then used the hardened gear to shear out the last few thou. Dont try to remove too much metal this way or you will split the gear!

     Regards,
                    Eddie.
