[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 105440, member: 58"] 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. This was confirmed to me by Bob Stafford when I asked him. See attached photo of an unrestored bike owned by the same family from new. Also attached are some photos of early series B's showing exactly the same so it could be all Brampton bikes had a different brake cable setup to the series C Girdraulic fork bikes and series B should also have the long cable going down the same side as the handlebar brake lever.
