Hi people, I'm brand new to this forum and hopefully someone can shine a little light on this topic:
We have a BSA A7 (1957, swingarm model) in the garage needing full resto. However having had a look at the available rear brake pedals that will fit this frame from this year, doesn't give us a definate answer!
The wheels/parts we have owned over the years are a set of half width hubs, with a solid swingarm pin and swingarm to suit. However located on the driver side frame, close to the pillion footrest is a welded bracket (presumably a rear brake cable mount).
I have heard this year may have had an option of the ariel-alloy hubs, which i think would answer to the bracket on the driver side frame. I have seen a couple of examples of half width brake models which have the goldstar/ B31 style pedal, which appears to fit directly through the tubular frame (please see pics attatched).
I have spent some time viewing a post on this site whereby an A7 owner had used an M20 pedal instead of a goldstar version, but our frame doesn't have this type of fitment typically seen on b31/ a7 models (please see pic below).
I was therefore wondering if anyone knew: a) what is usually mounted on our frame, where the red arrow is pointing to? (is there a pedal that could be used/ adapted here with a fulcrum to suit?) and, b) I wondered if anyone has achieved fitting half width hubs into an A7/A10 frame that has the bracket located on the driver side? p.s. I have spotted only one A7 closely relating to ours - which does have the same frame (bracket on offside), swingarm arm and half width hubs, however the pedal and mounting is unknown- arhh!!
Any advice/ assistance would be greatly appreciated..
Kind Regards,
Matt
