61 Corvette Hub Swap-coaster to 3 speed

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

If i use a 3 speed hub i need to have a hand brake.

I have 2 different Sturmey archer 3 speeds with a coaster brake. I could part with one of them.

That's a possibility. Let me see what direction this Corvette takes. If 597 white walls weren't so expensive I would use the Breeze parts just because it would look different

I have “58” dated Sturmey Archer 3 speed laced to an S7 rim (all original). I measured a couple of spikes and they are 10-5/8” / 269mm long.

Thanks Rivnut. Is the hub 36h and is it 3 or 4 cross?

 

[Rivnut]

Hub is 36 hole and I’m pretty sure it’s a three cross. I’ll check tomorrow. I’ve laced other S7 36 hole hubs that were three cross and they took 10-5/8” spokes. If it’s different, I’ll repost. If it is three cross, we’ll let it stand as is.

Four cross will take a longer spoke.
