Re: Ruby mk2 front brake levers.

Hi again R. Still nuisancing. Could you please post the following on the Forum under the heading " Ruby Mk.2 front end" item. Appreciate your help.

A couple of Friends have contacted me questioning my above statement that my nuts go to the back (on a Ruby Mk.2!). I apologise if wrong, but if so someone should tell the Austin Motor Company as well?. Please see a section from the factory drawing (done 1937) of a complete front end. Cheers, Bill

Re: Ruby mk2 front brake levers.

Getting the cotters out without damage or overloading the bush will be the next challenge. May be able to press out with a piece of tube and a G clamp or small vice. If you must hammer the blow must be absorbed with a heavy mass ie axe head. (I presume you may not be the generation accustomed to traditional bicycle maintenance!) Try hitting with a block of hardwood.
