127 Brakes
The brake adjustment nuts have bottomed out and I placed a few washers on the rod to get a little bit more out of it. There is still a good bit of lining left on the pads. Hmmmm. A little investigation shows that the brake levers are about cammed over. After 42 years of service I am not surprised that the levers have worn. Come spring I will weld them up and mill them to the correct dimensions.
Does anyone have a drawing for the levers? Pics of a new one?
Also, what is the thickness of the brake lining for the 127 brakes? It surely is thicker than the material in MattG's write-up.
Thx, Guido
