Sandcast or K0 brake caliper mount?
« on: May 21, 2022, 11:30:31 AM »
Hi!
Quick question, the brake caliper mount on my 12/69 K0 and my K1's have a brake caliper mount have a hole for the tab for the brake hose "holder" bolted on the rear of the mount. The one that came with my 1/70 K0 does not have this hole. Before I go drilling a hole or change it out for one with this hole, is the one without the hole a very early mount? I don't want to mess with it if it's a valuable early mount. Thanks, Cliff.
K1 type mount

The one that came with the bike. There is a dot where the tab would/may go. In the close up it looks like that may have been sawed off. Jeez I wish the bikes could talk and tell their stories.

Thanks,
Cliff.

These came with my K1 drag bike, no idea why both calipers face the same way.

 The sandcast needs cleaned up.

Cliff..... my s/c is a pretty early one and it has the tab for the extra screw. I think yours has been modified?
