I was looking at a BI yesterday and noticed that the rear brake adjusting
was done by turning a square peg on the inside of the backing plate. On my
BI,
I adjust the rear brakes by turning a slotted screw on the outside of the
wheel. Is there any significance to this as to year? I put mine together from
a pile of parts years ago. Also, is it true that there were only a few true
wire wheel 1'4 elliptic BI from the factory? I am still trying to identify
which axle I have,--is it a wire wheel version or a solid wheel one. I figure
measuring the hand brake rods would tell the tale.From center of hole to
center of hole. Anyone out there have any measurements? If the PO did just put
wire wheel axles into a solid wheel car, the shaft is a little short. A fellow
in the UK recommended pressing the shaft out from the splined knock off hub by
1/'2 inch. I can not imagine how much force that would take. I'm putting a
breathed on 1275 in it and do not want to be in the axle breaking business.Any
thoughts out there. Maybe getting those high dollar racing solid wheel
shafts and then maybe bolting on splined hub adapters? What is the collected
wisdom? Thanks people,---Bob C in Kansas
