Brompton 6 speed gear parts

[Andy in Germany]

I need a replacement for this part on my Brompton 6-speed, as the thinner section under the washer has cracked. It's holding on, but only just. Does anyone know somewhere that has it in stock? It seems possible to order a set from Brompton UK but it isn't available on their German website. Does anyone know of a supplier that would send the items to Germany?

I'd be happy to post you one from the UK, if that helps Andy.

It would be sent the week after next cos I'm away next week.

Many thanks @All uphill. I may take you up on that: I've a few enquiries with local shops but it would be good to have a plan 'B'.

Would have thought any of these nuts from SA hubs would suffice as a replacement, or at least be easily modified to fit.
Maybe I'm missing something here - often the case.

Do Brompton still use the Sturmey Archer 13/32 inch thread though? They've modified other dimensions on their version of the 3-speed hub.

Brilliant, thanks. I'll order them tonight.

I’m relatively sure I have a SA part in the garage, if it would fit?

Good point - Brommies are famed for using proprietary parts, but in this instance my guess is they still use the old legacy thread size, although can't be certain.

Would be interesting to know if anyone has the definitive answer, this part from the main stealer could have a huge, unnecessary markup.
