anyone fitted a DC seat clamp to the rear chain stay as a coaster brake bracket? specifically to a TA?
I've gone to do it to mine and the clamp is HUGE!! i thought i have to wrap some tape around it but its not
even close. has anyone got pics of the clamp fitted?

You could use a tractor inner tube?

I forgot you said it was a TA with aero rear stays

I remember my brother using a DC twin bolt and filing both sides down but dunno if the bike had aero tubing? This trick also worked for mini frame seat tubes
