New toy

[atc200ssfl]

Hey guys, I am new to this site. Just picked up the first 3 wheeler I have owned since I was a kid. A 1984 Honda ATC200s in immaculate shape, just a few minor issues.

I have gotten into replacing the front brakes and found the stud that holds the return spring on the outside of the brake plate is broken off, no big deal I can order a used one on eBay unless anybody has a alternative fix for this issues?.

Also the front wheel is pretty marred up on the rim so I want to replace that, my question is I know the rim is an 8x8 but I'm not sure of the bolt pattern or offset?

Last question is what front tires are you guys with utility bikes running? the current tire is pretty dry rotted and I am running spider trac's in the back which are in pretty fair shape.

Thank you very much

Pics please

Here are some pictures poor quality taken with my phone. One of the bike when I picked it up 2 weeks ago and the others of the bike now while I have the front wheel off to fix the brakes and replace the bearings. The last picture is of the front brake plate if you notice the return spring stud snapped off.

Welcome, and good luck. Try to find a local welder that could fix that for you, probably wouldn't cost that much.
