Brake lining
A brake lining for drum brake shoes, appearing across front and rear wheel setups in the catalog from 1960 to 1970.
NW243 is a brake lining, the friction material that mounts to the brake shoes inside a drum brake. When the brake lever or pedal pulls the shoes out against the drum, it's this lining doing the actual work of slowing the wheel down.

Our catalog shows this part number turning up across a wide run of front and rear wheel figures, including the quickly-detachable rear wheel setups, over a long stretch of the 1960s into 1970. That kind of spread tells us it was a commonly used lining across more than one wheel and brake configuration, but the record doesn't spell out which specific models it belongs to.
Brake linings wear down with use and heat, so if you're pulling a drum apart and finding the material thin, cracked, or glazed, it's worth replacing. Check your drum diameter and shoe setup against what's on your bike before ordering, since the catalog entry here doesn't narrow it down to a single model.
