Mike, you could try Steve Surbey but to build the hub up, including brake drum/sprocket, bearings,spacers and correct brake shoes if they were all available would surely be a quick route to madness.
PM on the way

Re: Rear brake plate
Thanks for all the advise regarding the rear wheel, I,ve managed to acquire a complete interim rear wheel.
Not yet managed to source a front wheel yet.
In the meantime I will build bike with a front pre-60,s wheel.
Should I be looking to build an 18†wheel, which will mean buying 18†spokes (admittedly I can use if correct front wheel found) or can I use an existing already built 19†wheel in the front.
Does an inch make a lot of difference 😜

Re: Rear brake plate
My G15/45 uses a 19 inch front and 18" rear and that rides fine. Tyre choice is better with 18" wheels but you should have clearance under the mudguard with a 19" but don't go too wide a profile if you use road riders as they'll rub on the mounting bridge.
