Help me find a R51/3 brake lever bearing bolt
Help me find a R51/3 brake lever bearing bolt
As seen here at Salis:
https://bmwclassicmotorcycles.com/index ... -4797.html
Unfortunately, Jan at Salis does not have stock. He is doing his best to find one but there is no ETA for the back order.
BUT...Years ago, I posted the same request here on this forum for a previous R51. AND, if memory serves, a member kindly pointed me to a supplier in Eastern Europe and that saved the day.
If anybody can point me in the right direction...then I will buy them a hamburger next Tuesday !

Greased it up and works just fine
Maybe enlarge the frame hole and make a bushing to fit new hole and brake pedal bearing bolt

Re: Help me find a R51/3 brake lever bearing bolt
you are probably right there. but my bolt is also worn considerably out of round so a new bolt would at least be uniform and true. that said, due to the frame wear, I will probably need to bush the hole no matter what. Short term, I'll jam if full of grease as you suggest.

Re: Help me find a R51/3 brake lever bearing bolt
Please resend your email. My computer is staggering under the weight of my next book, this one on the BMW R5, R51 and R51/2 two camshaft engine and under the strain I've managed to lose your email. Thank you! Christopher
Re: Help me find a R51/3 brake lever bearing bolt
I sent again.
If I had a nickel for every email I've lost...I would be comfortably well off !
