Anyone with a unbent 400 gear lever, need some pics

(1/3) > >>

Oddjob:
I'm trying to restore an old 400 four gear lever, replacing the rose joints, removing all the pitting on the chrome etc.

However this lever was really given to me as scrap for mucking about with and it's as bent as a Brighton resident, the linkage mount on the rear of the lever is really bent out of shape, the arm where the rubber goes is also bent backwards and the lever itself seems to be not only bent but twisted as well. I need some really good top down shots showing how the lever is shaped when it's on the bike. They need to show the mounting bush point as that's my reference point. The arm coming up from this bush mount for the rose joint etc. Some side on pics would also be good so I can ensure it's the right shape before modding it.

If it turns out ok and the recipient Ted on here gives the thumbs up on how it performs and feels I'll explain how it was done and where to get the parts to do it if anyone is interested.

Laverda Dave:
Give me until the end of the day Ken and I'll get some photos over to you.

Would it be better if I posted you my old one Ken?
Would need your address again.
Cheers Ted

Laverdaroo:
Told you it was shagged Ken ;D

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it......

Laverda Dave:
Here you go Ken. I couldn't get any closer without the image going fuzzy on the mobile camera.
