Webb brake lever/arm

[jonathanjoy]

Hi,
I need to locate a Webb brake arm (29 flyer), for the front brake, its almost the last hurdle and one of only two parts that I’ve lost in thirty odd years of the bike being in boxes and following me around the country.

If not, I’m thinking of fabricating one. Does anyone have experience of making one and is it the same design and length as the rear. If different, has anyone a photo or drawing of one.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Best wishes Jonathan

ps almost there !!!

I have what appears to be a new one, send me a PM to discuss.

Does anyone else have a Webb front brake arm. Unfortunately Davids was a later type, mine has a castellated spline.

regards Jonathan

Hi Jonathan I have the remains of the correct lever you are looking for the trouble is it looks as if it has spent most of its life at the bottom of the ocean although the splines look good, in order to reuse it a new arm would have to be welded to the end with the splines, please email me and I will send you a photo, if you are going to use it you can have it as a gift but if not I would sooner keep it as a pattern, have a look at it before you decide.
