Hand break lever

Post by Mike Stubbings »

Hi All, Can anyone tell me what shape the knob on top of the handbrake lever should be and what material it is made from. Mine is missing and I would like to turn one up. Mike.

Hi Mike,

It is a round, black Bakelite ball, about 1 1/4" diameter (from memory) - at least on the SV Minor. The OHC had a steel cylindrical shaped grip which was integral with the lever.
