This conical twin leading
shoe hub assembly was introduced in 1954, initially with a single fin.
1956 saw a change to 3 cooling fins and an increase in the diameter
of the brake plate register. In 1959 the brake plate anchor bolt was
moved further up the fork leg ( 5" from wheel spindle centre )
and the brake plate register further increased in diameter. As standard
we offer the '56/'58 specification, but can supply the other types
to special order. Note that the 5" centres fork slider is not
currently available.
Components are
manufactured to original drawings and can be supplied individually
to refurbish original hubs.
