OK Mike.
I pulled the rear wheel off and apart. The (4) lobes on the Rear Wheel Hub are completely gone, as well as the rubber dampers. The drive fingers on the Final Driven Flange are a litte scored, but not badly. Now, I'm looking for a hub/rim/spoke assembly. I found a 1982 complete assembly with a tire. I'm not sure if a 1982 rear wheel is compatible with a 1981. Does anyone know?
Thanks Angus
