Re: 1936 Ruby handbrake adjustment

On reflection, and it being a few years since I last did the job, I have a feeling the penny washers are 3/4".

Just setting the record straight for others in the future.

Re: 1936 Ruby handbrake adjustment

Thanks Peter - I always check earlier threads first and the answer is generally there to be found. There was nothing specific to the ARR Ruby set-up in this case and Bob picks up on this in his helpful post (thanks Bob).

Nick, thanks for the correction - I thought penny washers would be overlarge but understood the intent - even a ha'penny washer might be too large, but a farthing measures 3/4"(apologies to the younger reader)!

Like our ex-Chancellor, I've got about 6 jobs to do today (unpaid, unlike our ex-Chancellor), but the Ruby brake job does not feature. I'll have to return to it later on in the week and I fear a parts order is in the offing.
