Morrow/Eclipse coaster rear brake hub question?

[US042]

Hi,
I have pulled the hub apart and I am inspecting each of the components on a Morrow/Eclipse 36 10 date code M3 rear hub. The brake sleeve is worn however looks to have never been grooved which maybe was the case with early ones?. The steel case that the brass is riveted to is cracked through and I think will have to be replaced. I don't think a weld repair will work given the way they work with expansion/contraction. Does anyone know a source for these?.

Thanks in advance,
Brett.

You will hopefully be helped out by a fellow Caber that has a drawer full of these. If there are any swaps near you this fall, let it be known that you are going to attend. Maybe a fellow Caber can bring you the parts you need. Usually the swaps will have someone with a pile of rusty, bent rims. If they are cheap, I used to buy them up. I'd salvage the older brass nipples, hubs and spokes. My parts supplies are now long gone ........ I just see now, after I replied, that you are from Australia. These hubs are not as common to find today. Why don't you post your request in the "wanted section?" I'm sure someone in the states will help you. I was down under back in '71. Loved it!

Many thanks 'the tinker' I will keep it in mind.

The grooves are totally worn away; get a donor hub off a girl's bike that was not ridden hard for the internals. Or hopefully someone has the part you need here.
