hi all, been looking for a rear brake lever,that connects the brake rod to the cam, for ages now for my model 8 lightweight. have been to several jumbles, can only find curved ones and i need a straight one.

it's the last part i need to get bike back on road - just in time for winter, brilliant!

is any body able to help me out?

the straight lever was only fitted to the earliest 250s , it was found to be weak - so was replaced with the curved type . you have the correct item .

thanks for the reply,

i've tried to fit the curved one, but it means that the trunion is right up off the end of the thread on the brake rod before the brake bites.

i suppose i could make another rod.
