After studying Dave's instructions and last e-mail yet again, I decided to have one more check over.Everything seemed ok but the left hand cable although appearing tight on it's cable run, showed when I pulled it by hand still had excess free play until the wheel locked up. After removing the clevis pin and pulling the cable until the wheel started to lock up I found at least nearly a 0.250" gap between the clevis and brake lever hole. After adjusting this up so that the pin went in with just a bit of friction,locked everything up at that and went for a trial run. Guess what success As You can imagine I am now a very happy bunny. Thanks again Dave for your help and patience on this subject and it shows how careful one must be when setting up this brake system.
