Ruairidh and Ian,
Thanks for the link, a Lot of useful information still on the old forum.
The forward angle of the lever is about 45/50 degrees is this ok?
This does not allow the ball to be nearly in line with the king pin at all, for that it has to be nearer vertical.
My levers are wider than the ones I took off and have a shoulder at the end of the arm this is what seems to be the main cause of the excessive kink in the cable, it does not show where it touches clearly in photo No.3.
The socket end does not touch the backplate either.

The 'new' lever is quite wrong- I would go back to the original levers which look in good order !
The old lever is badly grooved and the ball oval although it does not show in the photo.
I have spent most of this afternoon with a file and carefully reprofiled the lever, it looks promising.
I hope to have a result sometime tomorrow it is a slow job.
The old one was 0.100” wider at the ball end I have removed the shoulder as well witch is a great improvement.
