Had a few spare minutes today so decided to make a new handle for the hand brake as well as some ally pads for the pedals.

Handle machined from stock 30mm aluminum bar, not sure if i will leave the handle frame on show or cover with a leather shroud so machined a 5mm groove into the handle base. New stainless steel pivot pin made and fitted also fitted the red release button also have a black button in case i prefer.

Pedal pads machined out of 3mm ally plate, used a chamfer tool to create the v grooves. Will have to come up with an idea to profile the plate to match the pedal curve as the plate is flat.

Tomorrow i hope to have the rocker shaft re assembled with the head fitted and may be the rotten out riggers removed. That's it for now as its time to go out for a few beers with the lads.
