Rear brake cable housing and cable, as it meeting the rear brake caliper... |
The brake cable housing goes into the adjuster (by turning the adjuster, by gripping the black rubber portion). |
The rear brake cable housing is routed through the top-tube on this frame. This is where the housing enters... |
Better picture of the integrated cable housing entry point... |
This is a picture of another pair of brake levers that shows the right configuration. There's a round flat surface that the cable housing is supposed to rest on & a small hole just for the brake cable to go through... |
For the LH brake lever for the front brake, I found a small hollow aluminum cylinder piece I can use as an adapter. This picture shows the adapter piece just placed in the hole where the brake cable housing is supposed to sit. It's just large enough that it doesn't go through the hole at the bottom. |
I drilled a slightly larger hole than this piece's original inner diameter, so that the brake cable housing can sit inside this piece. The larger hole I drilled went about 3/4 of the way through the piece so that the cable housing bottoms out in this piece. |
This is the end that I drilled out. The wall thickness is less than in the previous picture. You can also see that the larger diameter stops about 3/4 of the way down the center. You can see the step where the drill was stopped. |
The housing fits perfectly in the adapter. |
You can see where the cable housing stops a few mm short of the end of the adapter. |
