If you look inside the frontOk been to work for the day so now I can catch up where I left off this morning. Don't actually know what happened, but I some how sent my last post without finishing what I was trying to say.......!!! Anyway, The linings for the front and rear brakes were done By Vintage brake in the USA, at great cost....but the linings are supposed to be far better than the old Ferodo AM 4 material, so I am hopeful of having good brakes. Thanks for the pic of the original Lightning cam David.....The cams in mine are not only drilled through the cam face but also lengthwise down the shaft as well....It all helps. Ok as for the tommy bars, definitely no....I am using new axles, swing arm pivot bolt, footrest bolt, and all front fork spindles will be made from Titanium, which is about half the weight of steel. The cable anchors for the front brake are visible in the photo, and about 3/5 ths of the way up the link rod and to the left. David is correct re the backing plate anchor points which I will attach with through bolts where the lower attachment for the original spring box's were. Only item left to do on the front is make up some nice alloy air scoops, plenty of holes to let the heat out.....If you look inside the front hub, you can see the weight I wrote as being 4 kg's, Before I started it weighed just over 4.4 Kg's and this is not including the reduction of the parts to make up the brake plate assemblies including the cams, shoes etc.....Just off to have some dinner, back soon.
