New Departure coaster hub question

[Ernbar]

Tab looks like intact but worn. Might get some slippage now and then as mileage will tell you.

I think I will get a couple replacements. I noticed both the Shelby and Rollfast using the same type hub have less play. Are replacements new or old parts?

Agreed. Looks to me like the tang on the spring is shorter in the axle/transverse direction than I recall it should be which may make it prone to slipping out of the slot. You may want to look for a NOS spare. They come up for sale from time to time.

I just did from the CABE owner on eBay.

Finally got around to replacing the worn transfer spring in the ND hub with a new NOS one. Working great now.
