Kev, that’s the correct 1947 model front brake set up though isn’t it ?
Dave, I’ve not tested it with a magnet but I suspect that it’s simply a tough aluminium paint on the brake plate, ll find out when I take the wheel out as I’ve a little knock from play in the brake anchor plate to sort out.
Douglas, I’ve given up hoping it would just burst into life so it’s onto the methodical approach, I must admit it’s a whole different ball game to working on my other bikes 😬
