Recessed brake mount.
Hello guys,
I have a frame that uses recessed brakes mounts. I know there is a sleave/adapter that is available so older nuted brakes can be used. Any ideas of where I can find some?

A short length of 5/16" x 0.035 tubing pressed / loctited into the recess hole will do the trick. This is a standard size sold everywhere.
The other thing you can do is buy a standard recess brake nut and drill it out to 6mm (1/4" will do).

here is the magic answer https://sheldonbrown.com/caliper-brakes.html#mounting
simply:
Drill out the back hole of the fork (don't stress it takes very little metal off)
Mount the rear brake on the fork using a long 5 mm hex bolt
mount the front brake on the rear using a nut.
work great I have done this on two bikes

Sorry I got it backwards, you want to use nutted on recessed...not the more common recessed on nutted.

After looking at the PLASITC insert. I took some recessed caliper nuts and drilled them out with a 1/4" bit. They fill the whole up perfectly, and the calipers are in solid.
