[QUOTE="Kansas Bad Man, post: 50222, member: 778"] The Vincent brake design is of the 1920s make no mistake. The technology was there in the 50s, proof of that one would only have to look at the Norton Manx DLS stopper. My brake tip article was meant to improve what came on the bike not to modify with various means of bracing to keep things from moving around. The backing plate is about as simple as it gets, a plate two pivot pins, and a cam support tube . After a trip to the press, she's done ready for paint. Good idea to produce a part at a low cost , not a good idea to produce a good part. MAX [/QUOTE]
