Having sorted out the front brake plate etc on my basket case bike, I'm not entirely sure if I have a spacer missing or not. The CD Greeves Workshop & parts manual (which I've just bought - great investment) shows a spacer (part 74) on the diagram for the front wheel which looks like it might go on the spindle before the spindle goes into the brake plate. But part 74 does not get a mention in the parts list.
No spacer would make sense because the step in the spindle could then butt against the spacer on the inside of the brake plate. However, it would be a very tight fit to get the spindle into the brake plate past the first step. I could do it by warming the brake plate a little and cooling the spindle - so it is possible.
But am I barking up the wrong tree here, and should there be a spacer 74?
If anyone knows I be pleased to hear. Thanks
