Raleigh rod brake parts for Sturmey Archer hub brake.
Hello to all. I am currently trying to find the proper parts for the restoration of my 1950s' Raleigh-made Gazelle,28"wheel 22"gents frame.
I am looking for the correct Front Sturmey Archer hub brake lever for the rod brake. The old catalogue says the part is a HSB 204,but I have yet to find one,but only a HSB 408. Is it the correct/direct replacement for the 204? Please help/advice.
Also looking for the complete rear rod brake actuating parts as circled in red in the second photo. I need the parts to operate the rear S.A. hub brake.
If anyone have these parts for sale/could help me out,please do reply.
Thank you very much. All the best to you all,BYE&GOD BLESS.
Sincerely,
W.L.SOON,Malaysia

Thanks Brian.
Hi Brian,thanks for sharing about the sjscycles website.
I have visited it before and even asked them about the interchangability of the parts HSB204 and HSB408. From what I have learned from a good chap on this forum is that the 408 arm will fit,but the hole angle is not correct for our roadster front hub brake. So some modifications are involved like weld-plug the hole,drill and reopen the square open to the required angle. Since it is not a direct fit,the plan to purchase one is on the back burner. As such I am at present still waiting around here hoping someone might have the correct original piece for sale. I still might buy the 408 arm later on as these parts are getting rare......so we'll see how it goes.
Thanks again and all the best to you.

Sturmey Archer hub brake rod controls set.
Hi to all.
Just want to say that I have bought a full set(front and rear)of the rod controls for the S.A hub brakes(as shown in the second pic) from an eBay seller in Indonesia. I have yet to receive the set but they look great on the pics. He has a few more sets for sale so if anyone is interested......
USD125 not including shipping. To Malaysia it was USD30.

OK,thanks. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bye and all the best. 😁👍
