Weinmann question...date

[Dale Alan]

I was wondering if there is anyway to pinpoint when these were made ?I have a gentleman that wants to buy some but wants to make sure they are correct for his bikes . I have looked on the web but have failed. Thanks for any help.

If those are 7mm center bolts then they were used by Schwinn on April '71 and earlier MS/BS side-pull calipers (later ones were 6mm). I'm not sure how that relates to Weinmann brakes supplied to other mfrs.

Not sure about the Weinmann branded washer though, I believe those became "Schwinn Approved" in or around 1967. Of course for other makes the Weinmann version would have remained correct.

Thank You Metacortex. They are 7mm,He did not mention anything about the washers and I never thought to ask.
