anyone have a photo of the cable guides for the front drum brakes? The ones that are at the fender to fork mount... seems there are two one that protrudes out like on the early SFC 750's and then one that is somehow sandwiched between the fender and the fork?? I need to fabricate two of them for my grimeca 4ls.. and photos of what i need would be nice.
on a more technical note it would seem that if the adjuster/guide was in line exactly with the brake actuating point that it will interfere with the tire... is it okay if there is a slight angle from guide to brake arm??
Thanks,
Don
 
Scud, I would love to be able to help you. I have many pics of all sorts of Laverdas but I wouldn't know a Grimeca drum if I fell over one.
If you, or someone can tell me which model used them I can have a look to see if any of my pics could be of use to you.
I had hoped someone more au fait with the drum braked bikes would have stepped in first though.
 
Here's a pic of a Grimeca in a twin. If you use these same 35 mm forks, than you have to have a separate bracket as in pic 01. If you use forks that have bolt holes in line with eachother you could go for the second option where the arms and cable adjusters are integrated in one part.

Hi Don, have you enough information yet? I have a dismantled 750 with Grimeca brakes and could take a picture of the bracket with it not fitted to the bike if that would help, but I would need to find it first!
