I’m currently working on a friend’s 1969 V7 Special.
The main job is sorting the Front Brake (sound familiar?).
Shoes are away getting relined.
I’m also making up a new Cable, the old one wasn’t horrendous, but I thought I may as well get everything as good as possible.
Made up a Tool for doing the Cable Ends.
You can buy them, but they’re one of those “HOW MUCH?” items.
The drilling for the Cable Clamping (2.5mm) went a bit off-line, but it works OK.
I’ll add other sizes as and when needed.
Nice job. I’m thinking about having a go at making the cables for my Stornello projects as I am going to need quite a few and will cost a bit to get them all made up as specials.
Solder to use is ‘Tinmans’ Solder, comes in a thick Bar.
You’ll also want some Bakers Fluid for cleaning the Parts before soldering, and a good quality Solder Paste.
