[CR] Wanted - GB Brake Parts

(Example: Framebuilding:Brazing Technique)



Hello,I'm new here, this will be my first post to the list.   I understand that cross posting is a no-no on this forum.  In t he last week I have tried a couple other vintage lightweight forums with th is query but to no avail.  I have recently acquired, from an old frien d who has passed, a Clyde (Dagenham, UK)  lightweight, single speed, b ike.  I believe that my friend may have had this bike from new.   From the brake components (GB Hiduminium side pull) I believe the bike to be late 40's.  Wheels are Mavic, Atom hubs, Lytalloy chainwheel and cr anks, Brooks seat.  I am in the process of cleaning this bike up to ri de.  The front wheel was somewhat bent and I have had that rectified t o usable condition.  The brake pivot bolt for the front brakes is bugg ered and before I undertake to turn a new on on the lathe I would like to s ee if I can't find a replacement from someones spares bin.  If breakin g a complete brake assembly is unthinkable then I would certainly look at b uying the whole thing - I need the proper nuts and washers anyway.
