Welcome back 1925sidevalvers. Here be part 2 of the lever saga.
Next job was to centre bore the mounting boss with a pilot hole. Then follow through with a larger drill. Suitably sized to make re-fitting the lever blade possible and also the cable. The larger drilling I stopped withing 6mm of the end of the boss. Enough body left to support the cable outer. However I haven't yet decided whether to tap the hole and fit a cable adjuster......
Final part of tonights operation was to bore a 6mm hole in the side of the boss to allow for the barrel of the cable to enter. A slot will then need to be cut from this hole to the end of the boss for the actual cable to slide through. (This will take place after the decision regarding tapping for an adjuster is made.)
So, that's where we are at the moment. Now you all know as much as me !
