Just idly looking at my front brake backplate / anchor (1958 Hawkstone, BHC tin hubs) I'm a bit puzzled by the anchor arm. I would have thought there would have been a 3/8" round hole to fit the fork pivot through bolt. However what I have is this amateurish open-ended slot which looks most unsafe. I think I should weld a flat plate on with such a hole in the appropriate position. Am I right in thinking this?
