Ah! Sorry to be mean, but I'm hanging on to all the original Sie stuff including a new un-cut mudguard extension.
I did compile a list of part numbers to make a floating brake kit for Craig and Luke at Moto Rapido, hopefully they still have it on file.

For what it's worth I persevered with the floating brake for 11 years and many thousands of miles, while diligently keeping on top of maintenance, it has proved to be a very wear prone set up regarding rose joints, floating axle bushes, discs and pads.
Apart from that it works well when in good order. You can brake hard with no pitch change or wheel hop.

To be honest I think the centre stand trumps the floating brake in terms of usefulness and besides you can't have both btw, the torque rod clashes with the stand.
