Looking for NZ 350-1 rear brake adjustment wingnut
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!

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 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.

Do they ship items to the United States?
Re: Looking for NZ 350-1 rear brake adjustment wingnut
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.
