Can anyone provide me with a photo of how the emergency brake handle connects to the brake crossmember shaft? I have installed the brake lever and connected the rod to the rear brake cross shaft but cannot seem to work out how the front brake cable rear clevis and the emergency brake lever return spring hook up. Does the spring connect to the front brake cable clevis and the bottom hole of the emergency brake lever or to a point on the chassis? A photo would be helpful.

My thanks to photos supplied by DrJon. Have assembled the emergency brake components. One of the first steps to completing the rolling chassis.
Do not know why the photo always shows up upside down. Even if I rotate the photo first it still shows upside down. If you click on the photo and then rotate it, it will show properly. Sorry.

Was thinking that when you're working under a chassis everything looks upside down? No? I didn't think so, so I've reposted your pic right way up(I hope).

Thanks,
I tried 4 times to post that photo right side up but I could not get it reversed.

Rrhorton I'm guessing that the reason Ozstatman gets the photo to display the opposite direction than you do is because he lives on the other side of the world.

I actually have to stand on my head to read posts here!
