You know those tubs or tins of absolutely useless nuts, bolts, screws, fasteners, springs etc?
After coffee, I headed into the back corner of the garage and started to rummage through my useless tubs and tins…….
Much to @nickwheeler ‘s amusement, he even recorded the madness.
So………
I found a spring.
And some felt that I used to use on my woodwork to cover ornament bases.
So I made a four layer washer while Nick made the spring fit, we needed 4 washers to take up the space as the spring was shorter than the original.
Assembled, and filled with white grease to prevent some future corrosion
Next up, I made a failed collar to hold the rubber collar, washer and tunnel together….
So Nick started another, using thicker aluminium and better planning, while I got distracted by another job.
Much better.
Note the directions, clearly written on the one side.
Blowing up?
Nick underneath, getting it down.
It will get unscrewed one more time at least…..
When I get to carpeting the floor as well.
Nick Reassembled the handbrake cables and was happy to pronounce a functioning handbrake.
It needs adjustment, but hey………
It is fixed.
