I am working on some rear drop brackets for my 1926 speedster and the design allows me to include a mount for a Rocky Mountain Brake mount to the bracket. I don’t know if it’s possible to buy parts for these separately (which would make things easier) but I can make them if needed.
What I need to know is how far from the outside of the drum is the mounting/pivot pin on a Rocky Mountain Brake and what diameter is the mounting/pivot pin for the band.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Rocky Mountain Brake Question
The pin is 5/8 diameter and the center of the pin is 1" outboard of the brake drum surface. The anchor loop on the band that the pin passes thru has plenty of room for the pin, so if the pin is slightly farther out from the brake drum, there is still plenty of clearance.
