Lil Indian brake caliper

[hotrodricky]

I have searched the site looking for information on the illusive early Lil Indian brake caliper. Rumor has is that one was spotted somewhere in Argentina or maybe someone is re manufacturing them.

I hope they are.

I dunno but I think I found one this weekend, or at least one that looks like one. Not sure of the vintage tho.

I haven't been able to trap one yet, they are really hard to catch. Maybe another member can give us all a pic.

This is what I got...

I also got this one. I am hoping that it is the front caliper for a 7000 series bike. It looked like it might be...I haven't had time to verify.

As far as I know #1 fits the early Lil Indian models and its very nice. Thanks for posting the pics.

The spacing between mounting holes need to be 1"

I have tried to modify this one, along with the 1" hole issue its to short and the inside anvil is to thick. Fabricating an additional bracket might be a possibility but I'm afraid it would be quite strange.

I think I got lucky. Thanks guys!! I had to do something since Bikerscum wouldn't part with any.
