Bonanza brake help

[MCF2891]

I need some help with some ideas as to how I can mount my brake cable to my BC1100. I was doing some research and there should be little tab somewhere on the frame and there isn’t anyon either side unless someone cut it off. Was hoping some could help me out with some ideas as to how I can mount my brake cable. Thank you in advance!

The cable stop should be on the left side of the frame, on the rear tube going up towards the seat, just below the fender mount. I might have some pictures of the one that was on mine. It looked like a pretty good design and I see no reason to stay from it. You might be able to add one to your bike on the opposite side.

It was a little tab. Threaded for an adjustable cable stop. Nothing fancy

I would suggest something similar on the bottom of the axle plate on the right side of the frame.

I just make those tabs, drill them, and tap with 1/4-28. OldMiniBikes sells them untapped. You do have to weld them on to the frame of course.

The stock Bonanzas are untapped. The nuts hold the cable. Tapped is better Dave

I don't have no bananas. That tap saves the cost of purchasing a .29 cent jam nut! I tap mine, because I can then turn and get precise adjustments without a jam nut digging up my paint. One day, I will stop tapping those though. I can feel it.

I quit tapping 1/4-28 for a while, right after I broke my last #3 drill...

I just found the tabs and ordered a couple on OldMiniBikes. Hopefully my dads friend still has his welder and he’ll let me barrow it.

Last time I was over at his place I didn’t see any of his frames but I’ll shoot a text over to him and see if he can get one of them out.

That’s what I was looking for. But someone probably cut it off if it even had one like that.

Anyone know if the change from the tubing to the tab was done when they went to mid peg on the hardtails or did they change to the tab when they updated to tabs and Bendix brakes on the swingarm bikes instead of the tubing for '67???

I have a lot of bonanza frames and never seen that before. @bigevilone2 would probably know.
