Mike,
 welcome to the forum  might be worth telling us where you're from and posting some pictures of the '60 as acquired. There are some instructions on the site how to add your flag of origin.

Sounds like you've got either the goldstar or A65 front hub with the knockout plugs. A popular retrofitted brake although not one fitted by the factory in 1960 to the twins.

That front wheel usually requires different fork sliders and that combo is often found on rocket goldstar replica's. The correct '60 hub was a full width cast iron hub with very narrow shoes, so tends to wear the shoes fairly quickly.

Cheers
Tim

G'day Mike,  .
Good to be able to pick the bro's memories of them, but don't believe everything. Everyone here is always willing to help.
Post a ? and photo of the hub in the frame section.
Cheers
