Does anyone know if most all the pre war series "A" machines had the front brake cable from the handlebar lever to the right side of the balance beam, and the short one on the left side. Getting ready to make some cables..............Cheers.
That photo / figure is wrong. On series A's the long brake cable should go down the same side as the handlebar brake lever and not cross over to the other side. Because of this you cannot use the later brake cable of a series C which is too long.Figure 85 in "Richardson" has that set-up, for a start.
