EasternO Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I'm working on a project I picked up from someone else but it's missing some precise details about the brake rodding. I'm sure I've seen photos posted here of the underneath of an 04 or 03 showing the brake linkages but I can't find it now. Some of the rods were round bar and some were flat. Both were linked with triangle brackets. Any help would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, not sure if this will be any help, but I have a High Level Kits 03 chassis in my stash, intended for use in motorising an Airfix Drewry kit - if any detail on that etch would be helpful, please let me know and I'll post pictures... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternO Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Thank you, anything would help at this stage. I'm fairly sure the rods linking each side of levers/shoes were round section (they joined the adjusters at the front which was a tube with nuts), and I'm also fairly sure the rods linking opposite levers/shoes were flat section but I'm not totally sure. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure about the scale of the rods used in this example but this was in my head from memory. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weird louvres in the access doors, I presume they aren't original? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you've got much better info now courtesy of the excellent photos posted by others, which will be helpful for my build (and anyone else building one) too 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
