How To: C8A restoration in Holland

[Phil Waterman]

Hi

It looks to me that the link hole you are using is closer to the shoe face and a little lower which would reduce travel of the shoe.

The adjustment for cable travel on my HUP is at other end where the shield for the cable attaches to the frame then also up at lever link going back to the cross bar.

On my HUP I was able to reuse the original parking brake cables, all that needed to be replaced was springs that pull the cable back to disengage the parking brake when it is released.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil

I tackled the problem, indeed I used the other hole and it works fine now!

Hallo Pieter Phil heeft gelijk. dat tweede gat hoort er eigenlijk niet in te zitten. Hebben wij ook niet, net gisteren gedemonteerd!

Groeten,
Erik

This evening we have put the body on its side to do some repair work
I must say that the tubing and the floor is in a reasonable good shape only some minor repairs.
I will remove some parts of profiles and re-new them.

Today I got my hatch levers in , they have been lasercut out of 6mm steel plate

I have spares for 2 more hatches....
