[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 114271, member: 58"] Water excluders first appeared on the front brakes sometime around early to mid 1948, but the exact date / machine is not known. Note this is for the front. A lot of owners fitted them though to earlier machines as the machines were generally used in all weather in the 1950's & 60's. It was not until 1951 that a water excluder was fitted as standard to the rear brake that didn't have a sprocket attached. Cast iron brake drums were introduced from frame 3050 onwards. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
