Looking for NZ 350-1 rear brake adjustment wingnut

Post by DARIVS » Tue May 31, 2011 4:06 am

I am looking for the aluminum wingnut used to adjust the rear brake for an NZ-350-1. Does anyone have one or knows where a replacement can be found? If not, can anyone supply a good, close up picture of one so I can make a reproduction wingnut?

Thanks fellows! :D

Thank you for the picture. I will have to reproduce these by hand after I can get some aluminum. If the first one is successful, I will make a couple more for those who need them. Does anyone know how wide the wingnut is in millimeters?

It will be many weeks before I can be able to make these. I just got out of back surgery, and have bought a new house and the shop is not ready for work yet.

I have not started on the wing nut. I just moved, and the shop (barn) does not even have a bench or electric power yet. I've been healing up from surgery and working on fixing the house. I need to make one for myself, and I know you guys would like one too. I make things with hand tools, so even making one takes a lot more time that it would take Leszek at Old Timer Garage with a milling machine. You guys will hear when I have a few ready.

I have no idea how large the original wing nut is. Can someone with an original wing nut post some basic dimensions?

Hi Guys,

I dont think there is any idea to start to manufacture the wingnut, check this: http://www.greiner-oldtimerteile.de/dkw ... s=c207l440

According to the info on the site the thread is M6, I ordered one of these one year ago and the thread was M7 8) so it was just perfect!!

Anyway I dont know if the thread is M6 or M7 today, but I dont think its a problem, should be easy to modify the thread from M6 to M7 if needed.

Seems that they dont ship to the States, only Europe. They have quite stupid shipping costs, Germany is ok, I think it was some 5 Euros, but rest of the Europe not, if I order to Finland, the shipping costs are 20€ for this wingnut!
Maybe some German forum member can help you with this.
