78 husky wr250

[ktmracer]

i recently bought a 78 husky 250 that i plan on rebuilding. its not a rust bucket but it needs alot of work. the main concern that i have is the rear brake shoe carrier is broken (i am sure that is not the correct name for this piece but its the removable part of the rear hub that holds the shoes) does anyone have a good parts source for huskys? thanks in advance

will

That would be a backing plate. Try www.vintagehusky.com

I've seen so many of those backing plate just worn out. Try motorcycle salvage yards and E-bay too. If I recall the earlier ones will work & up until 80, just make sure they use the 801 brakes and not the 802's. Here you go for a backing plate..

I see those periodically on e-Bay, along with a bunch of other Husky stuff.
