In my last post on the subject I said
\n“I also need to shorten the rod that connects to brake the the link below the cab too. The plan is to solder a piece of scrap to the end with the boss on and file a second boss which will allow me to create a forked joint once I shorten the rod.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Which I duly did on Wednesday night. In fact I was feeling pretty pleased with myself until this morning when by chance I found a photo which showed me exactly how the brake gear should fit at the cab end.<\/p>\n

It will be good news to David (Hill) that in fact you don’t need to shorten the rod to the cab rear at all, you just need to connect it to the right lever from the cross shaft.<\/p>\n

All being well I should have it corrected on Monday evening and I will post before and after photos to show how I got it wrong initially.

I have say that the instructions are lacking in this area being of the ‘fit parts X,Y,Z,’ styke and an email to Steve Barnfield although it elicited a response didn’t help because he couldn’t remember how it fitted.<\/p>\n

To give Steve due credit he did offer to assist in person if I was in his area but I am a long way from him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
