Hi, everyone, I'm trying to source a rear wheel brake hub (cast iron) for a Valpadana 4RM-180, which I purchased recently. The existing one is badly broken on the outer edge, where the operating lever for the brake shoes passes through it. Argo, the Italian owners of Valpadana quoted a price for a replacement, but when they were asked for a lead time, have now said they are not making the part anymore and don't have the pattern for it.
I have contacted a few foundries here in the UK, who have said they can make one, but it will be very expensive, as they have to make a new pattern from the existing part. Anyone have a spare one they want to sell ? or even a complete 4RM-180 they want to sell for parts ?
