Hi Roger, Tx! I updated the data on the top.
Drum id is 170mm
Drum side flange is 193mm ( With flange I mean the part where the spokes go through)
Depth of drum is 53 mm. The brake shoes must be "abnormally" wide. (I have experience only from 1928-33 AJ's)

That's why i thought it might be BSA. They used big wide shoes on some models!Is this one on Oz ebay?

Hi Roger, the front wheel is not on ebay. Have to check with BSA owners. Tx
