Thanks

Yes but I can't remember how to mark the post "Found".

Schwinn housing is 4mm for shifter 5mm for brakes.

Good morning Ed. I have learned from other members that the shifter housing measures 4mm and the brake cables are 5mm. I ordered some from evilbay that work although not period correct for my 1967 Collegiate. Thanks for trying to help me out. I really appreciate it.

Thanks Capt'n!

Well if I found one I could afford, in good condition I would buy it. But yes, I think if I had a diagram if an original I could make it.

Thanks Wayne. That's an aftermarket stand. I'm hoping someone has an original stand and would take time to measure it so I can fab one. I appreciate your trying to help.

Does anyone have a Schwinn Prewar Drop Stand that they could measure and diagram so I can try to fabricate a replacement for my prewar Schwinn Packard DX? Thanks

Do you think it will fit around a 24 x 2.125 slick? If so, I'm pm me a price. Thanks!

Thanks Ed!

Does anyone have a 24" middleweight chrome duck bill rear fender in fair condition? I'm thinking about building an adult sized muscle bike.

My local shop only carries the brake cable housing. They have that in a bulk roll but not the older Schwinn style shifter housing. I took the advice CRASH gave me and ordered some 4mm housing off the web. Hopefully that will work. Thanks

Thanks Crash for the info.

Where can I order it and what's it called? (These are smaller diameter than the brake cables.)

They measure approximately 10 5/8".....6"......4 1/4". Mine are 56 years old and very brittle. If the replacements measure longer that would be fine. Thank you!
