RADsters,
The survivor '83 Kuwie Nova I am in the middle of rejuvinating came with two small right angled braces that are bolted to the rear caliper with the Pad Bolts. Their role is to resist flex against the seat stays when the brakes are applied and the caliper is dragged forwards by the friction of the pads against the wheel. The ends that butt upto the seatstays are sleeved in black shrink plastic to protect the paint on the frame.
Can't be chuffed to pop a pic up unless peeps don't get what I mean. ::)
Does anyone recognise what I am describing and have any, or know where to source them, please? ???
Thanks,
Dirty. :coolsmiley:
