OK Im almost completely done with rebuilding my Bonanza (pictures soon when my girl loads them on photbucket) but first got a quick question. I put the new brakes on, by the way the repro stuff sucks, anyway when I installed the cable it was pretty long so I cut the outer housing and cable but when I put the cable on the drum set up and squezzed the lever its real sloppy and then its just loose. It seems the outter housing just slips right off the cable and the lever. Should I have not cut the outter housing? Anyone can explain the correcty way to adjust the brake cable and lever. Seems it should be super easy. This is obviously a user error but where am I screwing up at? My brake is also scrubing insdie the hub but only in a certain spot. Is there a typical trouble shoot for this? Like the brake screw is too tight?
Specs is 5" drum brake, Bonanza 1100, trypical 1" brake lever assembly.
Will post pics soon. Must say it looks pretty cool.
Thanks
