Single sided front hub with fins

[alanp]

Has anyone got a spare single sided front hub, the ones with a few fins. I have one on my Goldie and they were fitted on others as well (including the early A65s etc), but the hub on the A10RGS I'm restoring only has a standard B series type hub without the fins. My brake plate is an Eddie Dow so it hurts my eyes to see it fitted to a standard hub. Thanks. Alan.

I checked out at least 19 sources in the UK for this and got nowhere, HOWEVER, I found two in Nova Scotia at a company called British Cycle Supply Co who advertise in some classic mags as Britcycle and you can get more details on www.britcycle.com. They seem like competant professional people who react quickly to email enquiries and are prepared to search their stores for bits not on their comprehensive stock lists. Forum members should keep in mind that more Brit bikes went to the US and Canada than were ever sold in the UK so the possibilities of finding bits can be higher than here.
Hope this helps.
Good hunting!

Dunno... Judging by the number of Austrailans we have here on the forum, I'm inclined to think differently.

Britcycle do seem very good I've heard many who have been satisfied with them. Thanks for reporting back.
