I've built up a replacement rear axle for the Ulster but - having almost finished - spotted a potential issue.
At present the rear brake cables run over the top of the rear crossmember through a bushing, then descend to the brake levers - semi-girling - which are at the 6 o'clock position on the backplate.
The new axle has 1" Austin brakes, and the levers are at the 10 o'clock position, thus somewhat higher up.
I anticipate a possible foul between the cables and front lower corners of wheel arches, which sit very close to the springs.
Obviously not insoluble, but I'd be interested to hear how others have dealt with this? (I can't be alone...)
Is this a 'known issue' with a 'standard' fix?
