On a RYCA build, is the little wound spring around the rear brake arm removed?  I don't have one on my bike.  Are they even there stock?

Also:  whats the seal number for the large rear axle bearing seal?  best place to buy?....thanks....

OR.  Is there a sealed bearing equivalent for the open cage ball bearing so I don't have to worry about grease getting tossed about?

thanks
Mike

Thanks Gary.  I thought it was removed for a reason.  The internal shoe return springs do a good job returning the shoes (and lever arm) to the neutral position.

I have Gerry's brake stop and switch brackets.  Nice job on them.  I also have his "plan A" gauge bracket.  I'm looking on how to adapt that onto the bike.
