Re: Disk brakes
To Richard, All that helped with the disk brakes. I do very much appreciate your pics and advice helping me to get my racer put back together. Some welding and ... are the next steps.

I have already replaced the rear and front axles. The rear and fronts have Sprite/MG Midget wire wheel hubs mounted. I would very much like to use ...
