Moving the anchor point will be much easier said than done by the way its part of the swingarm. I was trying to avoid any messing with the arm to bit weaken it but if i let a strip in on the flat unslotted bit it should be strong enough Just wondered if there was a common fix as its a common idea to put those hubs in a c15. cue 20 respinses of lengthen the arm! Thanks

hi all , making some but slow progress. both wheels buit up andin bike which helps to motivate me as it looks like a bike now. biggest issue at the moment is anchoring the rear brake (bantam hub) the anchor plate from the bantam JUST reaches the anchor point - i reckon have about 10mm of adjustment from the wheel being full in the swingarm to as far back as the anchor plate allows. is this enough? i was thinking of using the two anchor points to make a triangular bracket but i think this would force the wheel to be too far back. how have others solved this problem? i was wndering whether it could be done by leaving the wheel in one place and using a chain tensioner? any help or advice much appreciated. jim

hmmmm, same reason i reckon we should revert to pounds, shillings and pence. metric fasteners and decimalisation is all too easy everythin divides by 10 - it takes the challenge out of things. plus i only want to carry one set of spanners. i also reckon we should ditch the eu and go back to the commonwealth ;-p

thanks for the repy. didnt think about brake plate clearance although i had considered tapping ut to 1/4 although i was thinking bsf - any reason for bsw over bsf? think i may try loctite first with no spring washer and drill and tap if that doesnt work. cheers, jim

cheers brian. the bushman hub is a tiny bit wider than the standard bantam (bought it as a std bantam hub and consider myself extremely lucky) its pretty much exactlyt the same width as the c15 swingarm. i presume the width is whyyou used the old sprocket as a spacer? like the idea of drilling through and using nuts and bolts - i had considered drilling and re tapping to m7 although if possible id like to keep all fasteners imperial purely to cut down on the number of tools i need (1 bfh should suffice). cheers again. jim

hi all. firstly it doesnt look like my tablet likes the website and wont let me post a carriage return so apologies for the stream of conciousness style. putting a bsa c15 together and im using a bushman rear hub - i believe this is fairly common. 2 questions, anyone know where i can get a rear sprocket made up as it needs to be bantam mounting but c15 thickness? And anyone know the tricks of the trade to fasten it to the hub - as the bantam uses a crazy 7/32" bscy bolt which only appear to be available in the bantam length - as the sprocket will be thicker do i need to get the sprocket countersunk? Hope some one can help. jim

hi all new member from yorkshire hoping to do a bit of pre 65 trialling on a bsa c15 i am currently putting back together. got a few questions ready for you all. cheers jim
