hello all anybody had problems with the rear brake plate cam being loose the hole as worn over time so the cam Arm wobblie iv'e heard you can have them sleeved out to stop this but is there any other tricks you guys use? cheers bondy.

Bondy, If the looseness doesn't cause binding then lube it lightly and go on down the road, but if you want to fix

it properly then ensure the cam shaft is not worn and have a machinist bore & bush the backing plate to repair.

Probably expensive.

If you can't get sorted out locally, I could do that for you, but you'd need to post me over the bits.

cheers guys am going to take it to my local engineers see what he can do for me but if i get no joy ill p.m you trailie cheers.

It is not a Bultaco only problem Bondy any make can wear just the same. If it is quite worn you will be losing a great deal of braking efficiency.

Has the hub had a brake liner or does it still have the chrome surface?

the rear has very good chrome with only a small bit missing. the front i think as been done.

there is a place that relines the hubs with out taking the hub out but not sure who does it.

Paul Jackson is the person to contact Bondy. Paul is based at Outlane near Huddersfield.

nice 1 trialsrfun iv'e sent the brake plates off to be re sleeved not a bad price. i will look into getting the hubs relined but there ok for now. cheers bondy i will post photos off before and after iv'e had the brake plates done.

I've used a brass bearing sleeve in my Bultaco's brake plates. Is somewhat self lubricating and has very low friction.

all good advice guys thanks. the brake plates are off to be done. i will put some photos on hear when i get them back.
