44265-31 Front Brake Operating Shaft, WL/WLA

The front brake operating shaft is a central component in the mechanical drum brake system of vintage Harleys. This replacement shaft from Samwel Supplies is engineered to fit most civilian and military 45CI models, as well as Servi-Cars manufactured between 1932 and 1940. Over time, the splines or the shaft itself can wear down, leading to a mushy brake lever feel or poor engagement. Replacing your old, worn-out unit with this high-quality shaft, which corresponds to OEM 44265-31, will restore the crisp mechanical action your bike had when it left the factory. It is a vital part for any restorer or mechanic looking to keep a WL or WLA stopping reliably. The precision machining ensures a perfect fit within the brake side cover for smooth operation.
