I don't actually know the year of the hub and she's a bit of a Bitsa so I can't go off the frame.
It's definately not the cush drive hub and the swing arm I have is slotted to take the lug on the brake plate. I do have a brake plate but the lug on it is waay to large to fit into the slot on the swingarm so I have no idea what it's from (Maybe Atlas) so figured I'd just get a new one.
I assumed it wouldn't matter what brake plate I got as I need everything to go with it anyway.
Email to follow Gordon.
Cheers,
David

The project is a 1953 LS Manx, the only parts we found for it was the engine, front hub/brake, gearbox and carb so the rest has been built up from parts to make a complete bike. Weâve guessed it came from a car hence the minimal parts.
Iâve managed to get a lot of original/reproduction parts but some were just too expensive for my budget, one of those being a magnesium rear hub/brake. So Iâm using a Dommie hub I have built into a Dunlop WM3 rim, I just need a brake plate/spacers and the other parts to get the rear wheel on. After that it should mostly be the little parts as she already has her engine in which if she had fuel should now run.
Sheâs being rebuilt along with a 850 Commando to carry my dads ashes to the IOM Classic TT in 2016 so the plan is to get her finished and starting before Christmas so it can be ran in and tweaked next year. May mean I get time to do his AJS or Atlas as well but I doubt Iâll have enough money.
You don;'t say what model or year you have.
About 1957 there were major changes in the rear hub area. The studs transmitting drive from the sprocket / drum were moved further out (a useful impoevement), and also the brake plate changed from torque arm to a simple lug engaging with the left fork end lug (not so nice).
