My Ariel cave in use
Thanks !

Very interesting pictures. I particularly like the VB with the red tank, girder forks and BSA front
brake, very much a rider's bike I think.

The Mk1 Square in the background of the picture has an interesting front brake too.

Roger Peeter's VB from Belgium, a very fast bike !

The MkI SQ4 has a twin hub 2LS front brake made by Herman Noort.
very nice piece of craftmanship.

Thanks for the information and pictures.

The front brake assembly from the Square 4 is clever design and well engineered.

Do you know how the wheel spindle is arranged for the BSA brake?
We had an attempt at that but the wheel spindle finished with a horrible step at
one side which looked like a disaster waiting to happen - at the bottom of the
picture.

with a tele you can use the bottom legs from a BSA front fork.
for a girder I dont know, probably a 'thin' spindle with a sleeve, not a step.

Easy to fit 8" bsa into ariel tele 1946-55. Change one bearing and use original ariel spindle. Add spacer twixt fork leg and brake plate and bracket for torque reaction.
Shooting bollocks made a change from talking bollocks.
Vincent, will please write a short report for Cheval to encourage more people to attend.
