Drum brake braze-on

Who sells forks with braze-ons for Shimano roller brakes?

Hmm. eBay seller "hunterbc" often lists framesets with roller brake
furniture all around. Maybe email him/her to ask?

Quoted message said:

Also, is it possible to mount them on non-brazed forks--if so, where
to you get the mounting parts?

Sturmey-Archer and Sachs/SRAM both offer fork leg clamps with slots to
hold drum brake torque reaction arms. One of those should do.

Back when I was building mountain bikes from old Varsity frames with
Sturmey-Archer drum brakes, I clamped the torque arms with hose
clamps. Ugly but functional.

I've done that too (on long-forked choppers in my case),

but it negates any quick-release functionality.

I've been working on an adapter for a Sachs drum hub that uses the disc-brake caliper
mounting tab on a fork; it's nearly done and seems to fit, but I haven't threaded any of
the holes yet so it was difficult holding everything in place (2 pieces, plus the
fork/wheel combo).
