Lil Indian Brake Mount

[SIMPLEARKANSAN]

I have an original NOS brake to install on my 1966 Lil Indian 400. Does anyone have any pics of how to mount the brake? Thanks

A '66 usually uses the other early disc brake with different spacing than my later built bike but they mount the same way They just call it part #165 "spot disc brake unit". according to the parts breakdown and part numbers I have the brake unit appears to have came with the 2 bolts and short sleeve spacers that go through the frame mount, if yours didnt you just need to make some little sleeve spacers so the caliper "floats" in the mount.

These should help but again the caliper and mount should be different (mount has a notch cut in it for the caliper to clear, the caliper is more triangle shaped)

Thanks Markus. I guess I'm losing it today. At my doctors office sick. What I meant to ask about was the mounting of the kickstand.[emoji35]
