Has anyone got cable brakes on their vehicle exactly as shown on the picture below ?
If so I would welcome a photo of your front brakes taken from the same angle as the diagram.
I am currently trying to obtain this same cable setup on my semisports with some considerable dificulty ! How the cable can align as smoothly as shown on the diagram beggars belief. Unless I am doing something drastically wrong ! [ very likely ! ]
I can see me ending up going along the Bowdenex route !!
Not really any help Tony..... but are you at the point of needing brakes on Dad's old semisports then.... be good to see it in use for the first time in many many decades....
What exactly is your problem with the cables? The pic you posted is the later OHC and SV set-up. My (early) Semi-sports has the 180 degree arrangement with the king pin pulley underneath the kingpin. I have had SV Minors with the later arrangement and don't recall a problem - other than making sure the cable run between the cross-shaft and the chassis-mounted pulley does not foul the rear edge of the wing where it meets the running board.
I think your van (which you recently sold) would have had this arrangement?
Looking good tony... i assume you have the frame stored somewhere all covered and ready to drop back on the chassis....... complete with seats, hood etc...LOL.......
