Hi Vancevr
Thanks for the kind words although my turning skills are self taught and the photo makes it look better than it is
.
It is turned from a solid piece of stock steel and if I remember correctly the wire rope channel was cut with an old piece of tool steel ground to shape. The disc produced is then cut slightly off centre and a hole drilled in the flat to accept the end of the set screw.
As Charles says the brass part can be made of any material and welding a couple of nuts onto a piece of 1/8 plate would make a serviceable alternative. Make sure the weld is good! It is your brakes after all!
I’ll try and get under the car later today and measure the quadrant and let you have a rough sketch.
Cheers
Howard
