Rear brake spindle

So many questions !!
trying to identify thread on rear brake spindle 1942 WM20.
Looks like 7/16 something ? (that's the smaller of the 2 threads)
TIA

Re: Rear brake spindle

The rear brake cam has 7/16" x 20 Cycle for the nut and 1/4" BSF for the grease nipple - is that you are looking for?

Re: Rear brake spindle

My first thought was brake pivot, but two threads? Brake lever pivot? If so 7/16" and 9/16" both 20 tpi.

Re: Rear brake spindle

Thanks Mark and Ray. Brake lever pivot. Of course, my BSC kit does not have 7/16", Murphy is alive and well.
I have 7/16 BSC nuts, just have to take it easy and work one of them on.

Re: Rear brake spindle

The 7/16" 20 tpi Nut I have is 19.55mm across flats and 9.8mm thick, very corroded. I'm guessing there is a slim nut on the other side, but I don't have one. So no dimensions.

I think that's another one of those 25/32" that BSA were quite fond of using. Ron

Re: Rear brake spindle

It's worth fitting this part to the frame early in the restoration as it gets progressively harder to access the inner nut as the other parts go on...Mark, I can provide you with the dimensions for that nut...I'll find one tomorrow...Ian

Re: Rear brake spindle

The thin nut on the back is 15-1455 0.782" hex 0.218" thick 9/16 CEI
The front one could be 15-0541 0.782" hex 0.281" thick 7/16 CEI
I guess there should be two used of these?

Re: Rear brake spindle

I think it's the other way round Mark. 15-1455 is the front nut (#20 in the illustration,1 off). 15-541 is the rear nut. No dimensions given in this list though. Ron
