Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any detailed drawings or photos of the uncoupled handbrake mechanism to suit a mid 1929 chummy.
I've search Woodrow, the green Companion, and Googled every which way but I can't find enough information to understand how the mechanism goes together and in particular how it mounts on the chassis. The best information I can find is from the parts list and the handbook, however these general arrangement images don't really show enough detail for me to understand how it all goes together.
The diagram below is the best image I can find. The red arrows show the areas I'm struggling with.

On the left, the question is, what does the forward end of the ratchet rack mount to?
On the right, how does the hand lever attach to the main bracket at the top - my lever has a bend in it around here and can't bolt up tight to the bracket, so I'm wondering if it should be straightened or if I'm missing a spacer or something?
If anyone has any photos that show the detail of this area I'd be most greatful if you can share them.
