I have a 1941 WD G3L being restored.
I am missing a Castellated Brake Expander Collar, as per picture.
https://ibb.co/0GDnFm4
Question 1. Are all collars the same regardless of shoes size/bike model?
Question 2. Checking SMC Spares there seems to be 7in shoes (pre-war?) and 5 1/2 in shoes. Can someone confirm what shoe size for the 1941 WD G3L please? Is it 5 1/2 Inch?
AMC Spares do shoe exchange but I can't submit a shoe with a missing piece, does anyone know where I can buy replacement liners and rivets?
Kind regards
Al

Re: Brake shoe question
you will have the 5 1/2 shoe on your bike . Steve does not need the expander back with shoes
the castellated collar are different on the later 7" brakes and shimmed out , where as the castellated are turned to teh different positions to expand the shoes
You need the 41-12-B71/ 017328 brake shoes
Put a wanted add on the forum for a expander locally
You must be able to get shoes relined locally , such as these guys from a google search how do motorcycle relining

Re: Brake shoe question
Much appreciated.
Yes I exchanged a few emails with Steve. Made things easier to understand.
I have sourced a collar now, and have emailed BHSS. I sent them a photo of the Ferodo MZ41 liners as an example, hopefully they will come back with a positive response to my request.
Thanks all
