Mac Brakes and Motor Mount

Post by Mike Reller » Wed Dec 08, 2010 9:00 am

After some searching, and knowledgable input, I've decided that my new old toy is an R-200. The original mechanical disc brake was replaced with a snowmobile mechanical disc brake that looks pretty good and vintage, but I would like to find the correct unit. I've heard that H and H (original brake, I think) is still in business, but I can't find them on the internet. Also, there is no motor mount. I know it originally had a swing mount. Are there any mounts out there (Azusa, Dart, Repop) that are at least close in appearence. I'm not hung up on having an NOS part, just something in the ball park. Thanks again

Mike,
H & H (Hays and Hays) got broken up in the early 70's :cry: . Look under Kelsey Hays and you world will expand.The closest will be a 400 series.

The H&H was used on some of the R1's and it's still available as a production item, but I don't know if it got used on R200's as a standard part. Steen's in Alhambra was selling the typically seen McCulloch style brake and disc in their catalog and shown in ads, but they gave it their own name and implied they built it. I've never seen an independant ad showing the McCulloch brake and disc except for Steen ads. Steen also used the McCulloch style gas tank on their PoleCat kart.
