Brake for Rupp continental

[Sunday]

Does anyone know where to get a brake for a Rupp Continental? It has the turbine wheels and a 5" drum (i think)

Those had 5" Bendix brake original. That is whats on my Continental. I do not know if the Azusa 5"inch brake will work. Maybe a cheaper option if your not worried about having original parts. I think there is 5 inch brake on the OldMiniBikes warehouse.

Cool, but would i have to make some sort of bracket/tab/strut to keep it from turning when the brakes are applied?

There should be a bolt that you run through the mount on the rear axle tab in front of the axle and the bolt goes through the hole and into the brake hub. Put a nut on the bolt in between the brake hub and swing arm to lock against the hub after chain is adjusted.
Here's a Pic of my Continental. Maybe you can see how the set up goes. see the bolt below the shock mount in front of the axle.

Here are pics for george... They suck but whatever. The the dropout has a tab on the upper right, which is hard to see in the pic.

I have a Rupp Wheel that has the mounting studs for the sprocket.
