Front juice brake off a Nash Metropolitan. Lots and lots of custom fabricated bits on this build. It's been my most favorite creation. Hound, after an 80 mile ride. Yup, she's hardcore. This one is done. R100 BMW swap is complete. Thanks y'all. Seth

Got something to post on the wall.

Some teaser photos. Take a look at the build thread on SS for more info. I'm pretty stoked with the front drum juice brake. There's also a first start video of the rebuilt R100 motor. Braaap! Braaaap! :)

It's been screaming along, I'm just too lazy to post in multiple forums :) http://www.sovietsteeds.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36141 Seth

I realized that it would have required less machining to get the dnepr gearbox to work. With the dnepr gearbox, I'm told that there's only filing and drilling to be done to relocate the mounting points. The whole gearbox is being rebuilt with new seals and bearings. I'm going to be running the...

Ears were welded up, re drilled, then the entire case was machined flat. I'll be using a centering ring and a /2 clutch. From your thread (concerning the brakes), Whitedragoon, I'm actually in the process of adapting a Nash metropolitan hydraulic drum brake to the front wheel.

I would be very hesitant to buy these, unless they come DOT certified...even then. Being a Ural owner, I've heard horror stories of US Customs confiscating rims coming in from Russia that do not meet DOT specs. Just a warning.

This is where I am in this project

I thought the same thing, in fact. Unfortunately, I looked at where the splice would have to be made, and it would be right at the forward sidecar mount. I don't know what kind of stresses are imparted there, but didn't wanna chance it.

Here's where the project stands folks! If you wanna follow along over at the Soviet Steeds website: http://www.sovietsteeds.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36141

Carpy. With the baffle, which I re-packed. It'd be deafening without a baffle. Also, I'd steer towards the cycle x line, if I were to do it again. Fit and finish sucks. Seth

If it was easy, I probably wouldn't want to do it. I've got a full winter to realize my dream ;)
