[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 85971, member: 3287"] I put corks in mine, shaft, crank arms, brake rods, cable stop, spring and the three s/s trunions into box marked original spare parts. Then went back about twenty years to the model "P" and use it's set up, where by the cable from the brake pedal is led back to a cable stop mounted onto seat stay lug, then just the Bowden cable is passed through a 1/4" BSF threaded bar (fitting the old wing nuts) at the rear brake arm trunions. Bowden cable is then sheathed again going behind the rear mudguard to the RH brake arm, again a sheath stopper, but cable going through 1/4" BSF shaft & trunion with wing nut, an aluminium sleeve I've used from the forward end of the brake arm trunion with a compression spring (clutch origin) with a final cable stopper / adjuster. The sleeve is used to operate the brake light switch, not necessary if micro switch is used at brake pedal. Also rear brake arms shortened by an inch, as too much movement at pedal. Lighter system freer in operation and a better brake as same power going to each drum is identical. Hands up who can do that by adjusting wing nuts 1/52" at a time to get it right !!!! Any one really interested say so and I take photos of the system. It was when the Model "P" was at the spares company I saw it and thought that's the way,,,,, as I was always thinking of the front brake balance beam. bananaman. [/QUOTE]
