Thanks for the comments and the photo monsieur le rat, this looks pretty much how Ruby is currently set up.
Haven’t got under her again to have a look again, this may be a silly question but what is the governing factor in fixing the tension on the wing nut? I take it that is to the point where the lever on the cross tube starts to rotate??
It is a long time ago that I installed these parts, all new at that time, I remember the original brake rod was distorted and so replaced it.
Also, is the pin that the brake rod passes through at the brake cross tube lever threaded? Though if were, not sure how you would tighten that with the clevis at the brake lever end??
But if it isn’t threaded are we just relying on the brass wing nut to hold the brake rod?
Cheers and thanks again to all
