    Can anyone help me identify the correct brake plate for this wheel please?
    It was sold to me as a 1989 WR250 wheel. The sprocket has a 155mm centre hole and the bolt c ircle is 175mm. This corresponds to a JTR 510 sprocket which is in their catalogue as being for a 1989 WRK250. http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/sprocket/JTR510

    Several Huskys have very similar looking wheels but wiith differing brake plates. There are a few brake plates for sale on ebay, trouble is, they all have the shoes right up against the plate but my wheel has the brake drum band recessed in by 1" (25mm) from the edge of the hub. The brake drum is 5" (130mm) diameter.

    Any advice, or a pic of what I should be looking for will be much appreciated.

    No, just the wheel so far! I raced a '78 CR250 back in '81 but don't have a whole one now.

    what you have looks to be an 89 husky wheel. the seller is most likely accurate. any parts for this are very hard to locate as this is when the italians took over. 88 is basically the last year of swedes. if i may ask, what are you trying to do? build a husky?
