I have seen on this site that the T20 rear hub/brake is the same as the T500. Is this the same as the GT250 and GT750 ? This info will help me in my searches on Ebay
Thanks

Yes, I use any of them on my racers.

No Spen - you aren't quite right. The GT750 one is much bigger - I know because I have one fitted to my BSA A10! Apart from that, the other GT hubs are the same. I've been told that the cush drive and sprocket holders on different GT models are different though. The later brake plates are the same apart from the 'wear indicator' scale and words in the casting next to the brake pivot.

Oh *#@& !!! I have just bought a GT750 rear hub. I hope I can reduce the width to fit |

Don't worry 996, they will all go in with very little work. |

That's a relief. As the swinging arm is lengthened by adding metal in a non parallel part there will be more room for a larger hub.

Shouldn't be a problem 996. However, you can remove a lot of metal from them to reduce weight. It is worth doing so before you build it all up. Here is the rear hub I'm using now:
I wouldn't turn the edge of the sprocket holder down so far next time though as the cush drive is a little too exposed. It does handle much better now though! |

Thanks, I have added the picture to my library ready for my evening classes at a local school. They have lathes, milling machines etc. but unfortunetly not enough students, so they are delaying the start
Have you modded the brake plate to match the one on the site. |

Not quite that much, but I have taken a lot off. I'll get some pictures posted.
Now the season is over I have much more time to update the site. |
Advice, help, chat, whatever!
