It's all there except a master cylinder.
The price is right too. The swivel axles are worth twice that as a core.
Disc brakes use a 3/4 bore master, the stock Bugeye 7/8 will work but it
is a bit of an eye opener in a panic stop. the back locks up first.
If you do the discs, opt for the later Spridget rear brakes and wheel
cyls too. You will need the back plates, w/cyls, shoes and adjusters
from a 64-79.
For the master, you can have it resleeved to 3/4, find a 3/4 bore master
from a 65-66 (it looks just like the Bugeye master) or convert to a
later pedal box and master set up (67-79)
Or just keep the stock 7/8 master but keep in mind about the back end
locking up first in a panic stop. Other than that, you will never know
it's different.
