• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Thwarted...by a brake lever!

Hiya fellas, just replacing a brake lever, I am missing the piece that goes in between the master cylinder and lever:

It's the exact same as the old one:

I have checked the parts fiche and the only item I can see that might be it is listed as "inspection plug" number 6

Any ideas lads?
 
Right I am going to refer to this part that I need as the "lever to master cylinder linkage".

It might be part number 8000 79100 which is for the TE master cylinder, but I have tried it and it also fits the SM master cylinder when used with the TE lever.

The parts fiche says "lever set" on the listing, but then when I tap it into huskymoto.co.uk it comes up as a mere "adjustment screw".

So I figure I will phone them up and ask. But this does open the options up quite a bit as you can use the lever and linkage from the TE master cylinder with the SM one.
 
It is a Brembo, it shouldn't be TO hard to find the replacement rubber dust seal. It isn't just a OEM Husky part, it is a Brembo part. Search for that.
 
Yes XLEnduroMan I have since figured that out. I bought an old Brembo master cylinder just for that linkage. It's not the dust seal that stops it from working though, it is the lack of a link between the lever and the master cylinder! I am sure I have the right linkage but it keeps jamming and not letting me apply the brake! It is as though the dust seal is also designed to hold it in place but has worn out and isn't doing it's job anymore.
