Rear brake stay arm fitting

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sesman:
Jesus……and then again it appears as I originally described. Rubber, arm, washer, nut split pin.

Take your choice.

Rolfbulmer:
Thanks for all your comments.
I think the T-bolt fitted is not original as it had a yoke fitted to it and no torque arm when I got the bike. I suspect the previous owner was going to make his own torque arm using the yoke to provide the slight movement required. I am going to buy a T-bolt and fit this, I think this will then be the right size.
I believe the correct installation method is: rubber washer, torque arm, plain washer up to shoulder of bolt, nut, r-pin.

Sesman:
Ahhh, non standard bolt. That might change things. My bike is bog standard and the original assembly was bush, stay, washer and nut. That’s not to say it wasn’t assembled incorrectly in the past of course…..

Trigger:
I am sure that the minual is wrong with this. I put the rubber on, then stay bar, 10mm plain washer and a 8mm spring washer, nut and split pin  ;) ;)
