Subject: Re: Brake overhaul - levers
Thanks Bill for your suggestion. As you say the first two wouldn't be hard to cut from solid. The other two would need a fairly big chunk of steel - the bottom bar in the third lever is foreshortened in the photo and in reality is about 2.25 inches long and would be a lot to cut away. I suppose you could turn the main tube on a lathe once the bulk of the metal was removed, and then bore the long hole. Third one would also need a large block. I'm sure it could be done, but time consuming.

What did you use to cut the bulk of the unwanted steel away?
