Hi all,

Recently I spotted a site that was offering front brake assemblies for the early WW1 Douglas 2 3/4 hp machines, but can't for the life of me find it again.
I'm pretty sure that I stumbled across it through this forum somewhere, not a Douglas specific site.
I would be mighty grateful if I could get a nudge in the right direction.....
On a completely different tack, I notice that during the warmer northern hemisphere months, this forum tends to become a whole lot quieter! Is this just a perception? Or is everyone busy prepping for Normandy.......
As a southern hemispherite, I am somewhat envious of the annual sortie to France!

Bruce I would start here. http://www.douglasmcc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=29

The trouble is, after three days of continuous sunshine, us Northerners go into melt down and seek a shaded corner to moan in! Or are too afraid to come out of our sheds for fear of being blinded by the light. Ron

Bruce, if you do find the link, please do put it on this forum as I could also do with some front brake bits for a Douglas 2 3/4

Ron - as a long-time resident of Rhodesia, you need to make the most of the sun. A pair of dark blue or black rugby/pt shorts, a khaki short-sleeved shirt and a pair of vellies on yer feet and the jobs done! Place an ice-cold Castle in your paw and enjoy the gamma rays!

Many thanks to Jacques for the Dougie link:

Bert Pol, I should have known it would be him, great chap. He made me a belt drive rim for my Douglas about 5 years ago and a cracking bit of work it was too.

I loved Rhodesia Bruce. But I shudder now when I think back to those hot hot days and laying under a car in sleeveless overalls, gas welding a chassis or exhaust system. No such thing as H&S there Ron

PS. just remembered cooking top side in a hub cap and Zambezi beer in the workshop yard.
