Hi. Can someone please give me the centre to centre length of the drum brake support strut. My bike was missing it when I bought it. Going to get a new one cut in stainless steel.

Thanks

Measuring mine. It is on the bike. 14-3/8 inches I could be off a little bit.

The ideal length would make it a 90 degree angle to the wheel axle-brake plate bolt axis with chain tensioner in the mid position, for best leverage. Pretty sure that's how the designer woyld make it

I agree. That's where the measurement put it.
