Title: 42-5886 brake lever arm---- 1962 A50
Post by: nourydr12 on April 22, 2015, 12:44:41 AM

Hi- I am looking for an approx. length for 42-5886 front brake lever arm for my '62 A50. I am thinking the one presently on the bike is incorrect. Also an approx. front brake cable length and correct brake arm connection… meaning clevis pin or??? I have parts manual and service manual but it does not give an accurate depiction.

Thanks
Bob

I have a 1963 A65 and the parts are the same as yours.  the total length of the lever arm is 3.5/8 inches 2.7/8 inches between hole centers. The approx length of the cable measuring on the bike from the nipple in the brake lever to the nipple on the clevis pin is 41inches
