Hi Peeps

As requested I'm going to make individual posts for each topic and then sum the up on the build thread here: https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=16788.msg144097#msg144097

So... parts have started to arrive, but of course, it's always the million dollar question; "Are they the correct parts?".

Today I'll be posting pictures of the fork bottoms, yokes, front wheel, front engine plates and a link to some forks on ebay that "might fit".

Of course stuff needs to fit together, but if at all possible, I'm aiming for things to be reasonably period.

Here are the fork lowers.

Am I good to go?

Poppy

Hi Poppy
Yes they look "right" and have the lug for the brake stop as on your other thread
Check the thread for the spindle, its 9/16 x20 Left Hand the same as an old type cycle pedal
There are quite a few pieces needed to complete the front wheel and brake ? how much of the bits do you have?
There were two versions of the bearing spacers and axle depending on the model or year,
