McCulloch R1 brake mount

[Michael Drechnowicz]

I realize it's been 50 yrs since i've owned an R-1, but I could swear that the brake mounted directly to the side of the engine mount (cradle), no bracket or anything.   I have a brake assy in front of me now.   I don't think there was any spacer or bracket.   OH, NEVER MIND.   You are probably talking about the bracket that was welded to the cradle at the factory.  That is what Randy is showing in his pics.  Of course, all the brakes in those photo are not the correct McCulloch mechanical brake.

My R1 was unaltered when I received it and this is the bracket it had on it. It was 1/4" thick.
The disc here was updated but the caliper and bracket are original.

Guys,

Thanks for all the replies.I was away and did not get a chance to post pictures. The part I was referring to is what is shown in this picture, where the caliper mounts. This has been removed on my kart and it has a drum brake. I don't think the mount would be in the way of the drum setup and as long as I was painting the kart anyway I figured I would add the mount back on.

Does anyone have any dimensions for this?

Thanks,

Michael
