Brake shoe 1938 front brake wanted

[klaus gerhard]

One of my brakeshoes for the front brake of my 1938 4G failed while being with the relining company. At the side of the casting it reads: "C 13 3A". It is 25,4mm wide where the lining is fitted. I am happy about one single brake shoe or a pair.

Thanks very much
Kind Regards Klaus

Many years ago Drags were selling them new, I think they were modified BSA shoes.

C13-3A are listed as in stock, part no. 4100-33, on the Draganfly website.

These are prone to breaking when re-lining, after several failures we were inspired to make a replacement.

Have them Bonded and put notches in the trailing one so they wear evenly. Nev

These I bought in 2019 at the Pershore rally from the Friendly Single Spares Officer. - ACPL Spares job still being vacant -

if you google SOK LD164788 there are a few hits but I am not sure if those are the one to have.
The actuator side needed to be slimmed down both sides to fit, small milling job.

(in the Netherlands I get a lot of socks for sale )

edit:
maybe these ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/176922583695
but its number Ld-164789 so one digit off.....

Vincent, very interesting. Are yours 1" wide?

[Vincent.vanGinneke]

Hi Klaus, they are a bit wider, 27.7mm but they fit without scraping.

so.. a vastly reduced braking distance
