Hi all. After spending some time fiddling (with the bike) on Friday I can't figure out how to reconnect the rear brake!?

I have a new plunger as must have lost mine at Oulton, but how does it connect to the rear brake pedal? Feels like I'm missing a bit of linkage and its not pivotting right, but space is tight so I'm not so sure?

I'm using raceparts/racespares (can't remember the name but the ones everyone seems to use ) rearsets with a standard rear master cylinder so if anyone could take a photo of theirs close up I'd really appreciate it.

its a ball ache to get it fit, its very snug as the banjo is just at the wrong angle. Plunger in first from memory, then fit the lot together....nibble fingers and patience

Cheers. Is there some sort of ball socket/swivel which connects the plunger and the back of the rear brake lever?

I tried just slipping the end of the plunger over the pin thing that is at the rear of the brake lever but but doesn't seem to pivot properly so I think I may be missing something to connect the two together?

Plunger should have a 6mm Rod end bearing on it, right hand thread same as on one end of a gear linkage rod

cheers. I have one being delivered today hopefully. I'll probably be taking tomorrow off work so if mine doesn't land on my desk today I may take you up on the offer of one at Brands.

Are you there Friday too?
