Hello,
I have a grand prix deluxe (springer seat, front shocks) project. It is not a restoration candidate but will be a nice rider. It still has the original drum brake set up, but I do not have the cable.
I assume the drum brake I have is original, as it resembles Taiwanese construction. The brakes looks of the type where there is a clamp or locking assembly before the brake, then there is a threaded cable that attaches to the brake drum lever where it goes through a collet and is locked on place by a nut on the threaded shaft. I have the same issue with a minco Ram Jet I have - the cable broke and not sure on replacement
I do not want to install a clutch brake on this unit. Looking at OldMiniBikes warehouse and other sites, it looks like the brake cables for the Coleman CT 200 units might work for this application. Has anyone used a modern cable with a threaded end on one of these older Taiwanese brake assemblies ? if so which one
Thanks !
