[QUOTE="Phil Arundel, post: 101177, member: 3659"] Hi Kevin, It turned out that my plates were slightly buckled too. I ended up shimming out the plate until it was just about acceptable but this meant the thin nuts would not screw on fully. I also thought about skimming the brakes plates on the lathe but decided better of it. However, I mounted the wheel assembly in the forks and the remainder of the binding brake plate disappeared! It seems that the slight buckle was eliminated as I tightened up the long wheel spindle !!? The distance between the fork blades was slightly wider than the complete wheel assembly but, of course, was taken up when tightening the long wheel spindle By the way the hollow wheel spindles that Maughans produce are 5.15/16" long.
