De - lurking for the second time this year, I was wondering if anyone on here would know where I can find the following?
Firstly I'm looking for Suntour Power Shifter, the one with the fine ratchet, but 2 handled for front and rear Disraeli (I ride a road bike you see)
Secondly, I've got a wheel built from a nice Tandem Hub with an RH thread to take the block, but on the other side theres an LH thread of the same size - my theory is that this might be to take a hub brake - can anyone shed any light?

It won't be that because a brake on a LH thread on that side of the hub would come unscrewed - it needs to be RH.
Is it all LH, or half LH & half RH, in which case it's a fixed-free hub.
If it's just a LH thread it must be for applying power to the rear wheel in some way.
Hmmm, I seem to be shedding dark rather than light.

You're pretty much there.
It's almost certainly an RH thread on both sides, and yes, it is there to take a drum brake - the Arai drum brake is the standard tandem drum brake.
Are you still looking for Suntour Powershifter levers? I've just removed a pair from my broken road bike (frame snapped). I'll probably be building more of a mountain type bike to replace it so probably won't need them. Let me know if you're interested. They were fitted to the bike back in about 1980 (ish) and are still working perfectly. Cheers Colin
