Brake drums

Post by richtbiscuits » 9th June 2019 - 1:55pm

Saft question perhaps but are the little locating screws for the rear brake drums on a type 4 the same on other types? Changed the wheel on my 412 today as got a puncture and found the screws are missing. Thanks.

Yes, it's the same as type 3 It's a domed, socket headed bolt, M8, not terribly long- the Domed head fits inside the pressings in the stock wheel

The Screws do not serve any purpose once the Wheels are bolted on.
