Sturmey Archer AB drum brake hubs
I'm looking for some replacement parts for a pair of Sturmey Archer AB drum brake hubs. Particularly, I'm looking for the clip to fork. and adjustable pull rods, which were used instead of cables, according to the (vintage) SA catalog. Alternatively, does anyone have photos of a modified cable system which doesn't alter the original parts?

Contact Sturmey-Archer and ask them if they can supply a HSL 702 (17.5mm clip) or HSL 703 (22.2mm clip) from their new X-FDD hub:

Should work.

Sorry to ask a stupid question. Was your bike built to take rods? is there any of the original bits left on the bike?

Most of the rod system is there on the bike. Two essential parts are missing and one is corroded beyond being functional. According to the vintage Sturmey Archer catalog, the rod system was used and replacement parts made for these model AB drum brake hubs.

These guys have a lot of SA parts. I used plain old threaded rod for the pull on mine. It's standard thread.
