Front Brake Cable Routing

#1

Post by Tudelum48 »

I'm still trying to get generator parts right now to rebuild my 32E so I'm looking for other things to fix.
I have redone the forks, internals, seals and stuff along with steering head bearings and I'm also working on the front brake.
(Again) my bike was a basket case. I have no clamps or guides for the front brake cable. Does anyone have a direction where I can see photo's of clamps and routing. I'm going on the left hand side like original.

The front brake tube is held against the front fender by a clamp and screw that goes into a hole drilled into the fender/fender bracket on the left side.

Ok the brake tube bolts to the fender how does it route up by the triple tree?
Looks like there should be a place it slides through around the handlebar area?

It just goes behind the tree and up over the top of the handlebar
