1920 Ariel Brakeplate

Since having the bright idea of using motocross front wheels for my 20 Ariel (cos they are 21", allow mw to fit wired on tyres and allow me a small drum brake) I've been struggling to fit the wheel to the narrow girder forks. The Japanese brakeplate, being alloy, is too thick. So Ive made my own from 5mm steel plate to use the old Japanese internals. Kinda pleased how its turned out.
And with the brake boss welded on and the internals added:-
Should do the job.
