CR / RC style levers
After moving to a new workshop I'm aiming to expand my production, now tooling for making complete CR / RC style brake and clutch levers.
I've already made perches, but just now I've tested my prototype home made lever, quickly machined it to work as original, mounted to an original perch and squeezed with all my might....and it stayed intact :D
That makes it possible to remanufacture almost all the parts so I'm not reliant on NOS parts that may or may not be available. Now to work out the last bits before production can begin
