This is the best I can achieve with original A7 Lever, as you will see the cable is unacceptably stressed.
Photo 2 shows plan B, I decided to produce a lever using a ball & socket that I had, as an experiment.
The original was made from brass as I had some handy, steel would be better.
As you can see photos 3 & 4 show a view from exactly the same position underneath looking up, both right & left lock give a straight run to the cable. You will note the ball position does not move too much either. I may have to fine tune the angle of the lever and the position relative to the king pin centre.
The rear brakes were put on hold as whilst trying to check them I had a nasty rumbling noise from Lhs, it sounded like bearings being very rough. On investigation it turned out to be half shaft gears that felt rough because they are straight cut and the teeth could be felt meshing!
The bearings were fine.
