Brake stopper/ switch
Brake stopper/ switchLooks like I am missing something..1966 CL77
The brake pedal can be lifted up 6 inches..Usually there's some kind of bolt stopper?? None here?? Parts book shows a white bumper but ???
Hard to tell all you have going on there from the picture. The stopper goes in the hole on the brake spindle. The switch mounts so that it contacts the stopper when the brake is in the full up position. The switch also acts to adjust the pedal height. The return spring is much longer and hooks at the frame bracket for the cable and also at the cable / brake spindle junction. Best you look at photos of a correct setup to understand better.
whats missing?Looks to me the brake light switch has been relocated, and the plastic pad is missing. Does the back brake work at all? I see no cable attached to the clevis.
On my 66 CL, the brake pedal rests upward on the footpeg and travels maybe two inches down before engaging the shoes into the drum.
whats missing?Oh...
Is that the brake cable end dangling in the upper left of the photo? If so, then your brake I assume works. See my photo as bamacl suggested for clarity on what it should look like..
