Re: front brake cable adjuster

Ron
Yes, I've got one of those, & it's on the bike. The front wheel hasn't been out for a couple of years, & with the bike not being here at the moment to check I'd forgotten about it.

Re: front brake cable adjuster

['..could be the replacement cable has bigger adjusters but I'll add a spacer to the stay bolt ...']

I've come across after market adjusters that are too large in diameter to clear the stay, so something worth checking...Ian

Re: front brake cable adjuster

Kevin, I removed that spacer today and measured it as ID 0.260", OD 0.500" and thickness 0.106" so pretty close to the A176 the BSA parts book shows as ID 0.255" and thickness 0.104" (no OD shown).

Sorry I didn't do that yesterday - I got sidetracked fault-finding a friends non-charging Matchless 350 (if you have ever had the misfortune to work on one of those generators in-situ you will understand why it took up a lot of time). Ray :white_frowning_face:

Re: front brake cable adjuster
