sounds interesting Will, let me know what you find, the early A65 used the same 8 inch side hub brake, they went back to it as it worked better than a lot of the others.

I typed 'BMW' into the forum search and found this:

I'm always somewhat reassured when I find something where I thought
it was - it doesn't happen as often as I'd like now-a-days . . .

" I'm sure there are images of the BMW brake in an Ariel setting on this forum somewhere."
Yes, I did for my SQ4,
didn't have to change anything on the Ariel fork, just adjusted the BWM axle and the spacers, that was all. Works perfectly!
It's a BMW R/5 Brake. I got a complete front wheel on evil beef.

Just to add to the conversation. My old Huntmaster had a Norton ES2 / Dominator FWH which was very satisfactory & fitted in standard forks. Not sure about the spindle as it was fitted by the previous owner.
