Re: Italian W/NG
The stud and two?? nuts are protruding too far and will foul the rod. The original 5/16th dia stud (where fitted) only clears by 3/16th inch. The threaded end of the rod has two flats to fit the corresponding slot in the brake rod. Nev

Re: Italian W/NG
Very well spotted Nev! There was an M8 bolt in there, about 40mm long with two nuts, one M8, one M12 castle nut.
All sorted now though - I will post a new picture soon, when the speedo pinion arrives.

My brake rod has two flats, but the brake arm has a plain hole?nevhunter wrote:The stud and two?? nuts are protruding too far and will foul the rod.

Re: Italian W/NG
Then it's not the right brake arm. It's definitely a slot. One sneaky way of changing it is to heat the "hole "area quickly and crush it in a vyce to ovalise the hole, then file the outside to shape afterwards so it's still a cylindrical shape. Nev

Here's one for the detectives. My W/NG in 1953. See what you make of it!
