1924 Mechanical Foot-Brake, ST, Parts & Adjustment

I need information about the adjustment for the mechanical foodbrake ..front and rear.
I have the Technical Letter No. 1781. These instruction give me the information that I need
some "Special Tools" to adjust front and rear lever. I got also the List of the "Special Tools" which shows this tools. (Thank you David on this place ....) Can someone give me the messurements of this tools , so that I can build this tools or is there any information or messurments for an easyer way to bring the lever into the right position.
Additional I need Informations about the rear brakeband construction. I believe there is some parts missing. Take a lock on the picture ... there is no sidecover at the brassblock (parts No:
119085 or 130153) but I can see on parts No. 106178 & 48867 that there is somthing like that in the partslist page 30. No idea if this is to cover the "Rear Axle Brake Band Anchor Bracket" on both sides of this Brassblock. But there has to be something .. otherwise this Grease Nipple on top make no sense if this part is "open".
I?ll be happy if someone can post a picture who shows the "original" situation on this Brakebands for my 1924 Sport Pheaton.

Carl, the rear brake set up on my 126 looks much the same as your 136. There is a small pressed metal cover on the side of those brass blocks to help keep the grease in and dust out. See photo of mine (with 40 years of road grime).
I don't have a spare but they would be easy to make.
I have not found Technical letter 1781, and my car does not have front brakes but I doubt that the special tools shown are essential. I set my brakes so that all levers are as close as possible to maximum mechanical advantage when applied . You already know this.
I suggest you post a copy of Technical Letter 1781 and the pictures of the tools, someone else might be able to help.
