Help needed fitting rear rod brake spring
First of all, hello. This is my first time on the forum. I'm certain it won't be the last.
I am reassembling a 1939 Rudge Whitworth and cannot for the life of me remember how this spring was fitted. (Why didn't he take pictures beforehand type questions I imagine will be being thought now) If I scratch my head any more it will start bleeding. Does anyone have something similar which they could take a picture of as my idiot guide? Please help.
Cheers
Mark

Um...... it would the sort of thing I would assemble easily on one of my own bikes, but if you asked me to describe how to fit it I'd be lost for words. Fortunately I hunted around and found a detail shot of the rear brake setup on an old Norman roadster which should help you out and save me from devising difficult to write paragraphs of description.

Fantastic, thank you so much. I will now be able to start sleeping again. I'm afraid it was the classic case of "I've built my bike back up but I have a few bits left over, oh well." I hadn't reattached the tube band which one end of the spring fits in. FOOL. Thanks again.
Is there a thread with your old roadsters on? I'd like to have a look.
