61 mk 1 handbrake quadrants

Post by ateichert »

Can anybody tell me the thickness of the spacer between radius arm and quadrant? Somerford shows them but unavailable.
Thanks Mike

I had the same problem during a small project. Using a rusty original, I worked it out to be the thickness of the steel cable PLUS .030"

Is that FOLSOM as in Folsom prison as in Johnny Cash fame?
