1956 Claud Butler Fork & Stem Questions

-

Krakatoa

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Working on getting a stuck wedge out of the circa 1956 650B fork.

Does anyone know the diam/thread pitch for the stem wedge bolt?

My second question is looking into the bottom of the steer tube is that the bottom of the stem wedge OR what I suspect is a brazed in washer?

Thanks very much appreciate any input. Hoped I can source a bolt or rod locally one prop size is known to use in my puller which is currently us std.

Thanks,

all I can tell you is that's a US-market frame with L/S lamp boss - every UK-market bike would have the lamp boss on the right side.
 
Hello Nate,

there is a fellow on BF who just refurbished a ‘53 . Maybe he/she can advise you. My 50s Brit bikes are Raleigh built and it’s well known they used some non-BSC threading so I would not want to mislead you. I will say looking through bottom of my 1951 rudge fork no brazed in washer ; only ancient insects.
best of luck, Steve
