Billybream,s Super Rocket Front Brake

[Billybream]

Sorry forgot to post information on my front brake, Its a John Tickle TLS set up, fitted I think about 1970, I,ve owned the bike since 1966, but did not record date of some of the modifications made. The bikes back to standard now, one exception is the front brake, from memory the original set up was poor.

 G'day Billy, is it a tls plate on an original hub or a complete swap? Looks good.
I got a '69 tls that will end up on the cafe maybe next tyre change.
Cheers

Hi muskrat.
The TLS is just a brake plate thats fitted straight onto the original full width hub.

 That's handy. The '69 has wider shoes so needs the hub as well. Thought of putting it on the A65 but won't go for that reason, same hub as late A10.
So what shoes does it take?
Cheers

For info. George Prew (he of Gold Star bits fame) is now selling TLS brake plate assemblies for the single sided brake and is a fair immitation of Eddy Dow's Duetto TLS brake.
