I believe that the CB360 brake drums are smaller than the CB77 (smaller spoke circle) so the rims would not be drilled the same. They might start with the same blank rim, though. LM, G, bail me out if I'm wrong..... Chase

Yes - the CB350/360 drums and spoke ring are smaller than CB77.

In the UK the CB360 had a disk front and drum rear.

Yes - it took a while to find those. That rear brake plate does not fit later hubs and vice-versa.....

This set was done with genuine NOS double-butted spokes.

I can't believe all the guys who rebuild their bikes buy rims from Buchanan!?

I did get a quote from central-wheel.co.uk.Is it a good place?

G & LM, what is it that’s distinctive about that rear brake plate?
