I have rusty, chrome, ball end control levers (brake, clutch, lifter) that look like 1960's era replacement items.
The front brake has .875" pivot to cable
The clutch has 1.094" pivot to cable
The lifter is right side with 1.094" pivot to cable
As i view another Comet, with no ball ends (pointed end levers), the pivot to cable is 1.094" on all 3 levers.
When i go to look for new, non adjusting, stock OEM type , steel. chrome levers, are there issues that i should be aware of? Besides wanting a solid PR15 lifter lever.
I am to assume all 2010 control levers are 3/8 cable barrel ends?
Is there a best supplier for these Vincent levers?
Amal turned into Doherty?
Do I want Amal clip straps? Anyone repros these Amal clip straps?
These control lever pivot dimensions do not appear to be discussed at any suppliers website, including Vincent suppliers!
PR14 - Vincent clutch lever
PR15 - Vincent lifter lever - solid lever
PR16 - Vincent brake lever
Is the lever ratio a situation of early technology versus later technology? Early being the 1.094'" and later wanting a more power going to .875"?
Does a Vincent series C really require the extra travel associated with 1.094" ?
Thanks for any help
