Re: 1949 ZM20T Wheels

My bike is finished but isn't licensed as yet and after careful assembly oil leaks isn't a problem as yet, wet sumping is, which only means draining the crankcase into clean container and putting it back in the tank. Fortunately someone prior to me rebanded the sprocket and did a very good job. The rivets holding the drum still original and look perfect. The amount of miles it will do when sidecar is finished and attached will be minimal so I think it will out last me if its lasted 70 years to date without failure. As Ian said fit a wheel with bolt on drum, however where I am one would be difficult to find. I am aware of 6 spring clutches and have improved the drag when trying to find neutral by fitting a lever with 1 1/6th cable pull compared to original 7/8".

Didn't the post war QD hubs revert to the counterbored bolts and flat holes used pre war ?
or did they continue to use the countersunk self aligning bols ?
I have seen both
