Wanted - Wheel Spindle

[A10Boy]

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a spare front wheel spindle for a cast iron full width 8 inch hub they might want to sell ?

cash waiting...

good luck there hard to get hold ove

is this the type for the 59 onwards or pre 59?
the one I have is 59 onwards,clamps on each fork leg.
I actually purchased new old stock from Peter Hammonds in Cirencester as I fitted a twin leading shoe front brake to my full width 8inch hub and needed to machine a new groove to bring the fork legs in slightly so aiding the brake locating lug in closer to the fork leg.

Yes, its the 58 on cast iron hub one, which fits the forks with the clamps.

I picked up a TLS front brake plate on which I had the lug slot ally welded deeper and machined back so it meets with the fork lug properly. I have now found a later wheel with the flange which is what goes with the TLS brake. I thought that if I could find a spindle, it would save taking the one out of the wheel I already have on the bike.

One question on yours, you machined a new groove - did you machine both sides and move the wheel over, or did you machine one side only and "Spring" the legs closer together ?

I machined it one side only
I did not see the point in doing both sides as logicaly I presumed that the brake plate must be a bit thinner and as we are only talking 1/4 inch the forks will naturally spring in 1/8" both sides and the wheel should still be central to both fork legs, it looks ok
Now the annoracks oops sorry i meant engineers will tell me I am wrong however it has been like it for some time with no problems the mot station use two straight edges to check the wheel alignment and have ok'd it.
I could have bought the original one with me at the weekend but it looks like your sorted, money would not have changed hands as I prefer to exchange parts (barter) rather than sell small spares.
see you there

I had that problem I had the slot welded deeper it works great.
