I bought the new front brake cams and levers from the Seven Workshop, because the old cams positioned the levers towards the back of the car. I placed a photo in my previous thread about brake hubs, which compared side by side the old cams with the new. The cams were remarkably different with regards to the cutout for the cotter. Basically nobody addressed the issue. One, or both, cams must be wrong.
The new cams put the levers at a point where the ball is almost touching the front edge of the backing plate. And I have the cotters positioned so as to bias the levers towards the rear of the vehicle.
I'm not sure that the originals are the actual *originals* because the car is a Special and it would have been rebuilt anyway. So I carried on with assembling everything, to the point where all I need to do now is to attach the wheels and take the car for a drive.
