It is mounted just ahead of the front crossmember, I would have thought a device for coupling the brakes wound be under the car and central, there was a simple Bordello lever type attachment for the cross shaft form this period which did just that. I think Russell's idea is quite possible and the location would work, in-fact I think I have seen a period advertisement of just such a device for a seven but can not for the life of me think where. Any other suggestions??
The lack of fairing in a couple of pictures shows us how the rear spring/chassis cutaway on these early pre production cars worked and ties in very nicely with the pictures of the 1924 200 mile car. It seems that the later production Brookland's had somewhat wider body's so they may well be not quite the same in this area, all fascinating stuff to anoraks like me!
