What size is your brake lever? You have to get the correct size of barrel end for your brake lever.

You also need the clamp for the brake end. You can click the OldMiniBikes link above,
and look around, but you need to know some measurements going in.

Looks like you just posted once 3 days ago. Sometimes you need to wait a bit for someone to answer.

No need to create a new thread every time you don't get an answer right away either. Just bump your old thread first and maybe someone will chime in.

Ach zooooo .....now I zeee der problem......

Like Dave said, the first thing you will need is some kind of bracket or clamp to anchor the brake end of the cable....I don't see anything on the frame??

Google searching images, I saw a Toyoco with this type of arrangement on it.

You still need a cable anchoring mechanism on the frame/swing arm that would keep the spring tension on it for brake return. Also, you'd need whatever lever this cable fits.

You can also build up your own brake system to fit your application and needs.

Heres the tab you're speaking of it's part of the drum that holds the cable in place.

You could use this cable assembly, but I don't know if it would fit your brake lever. You never addressed if you had a lever or not, and what diameter the hole is for the cable. The item below would work "most likely" noting that I have not measured your brake drum, or anything else. There is a Rupp brake lever assy available from OldMiniBikes that would fit this, but it's not correct for your bike.

165-005 Baja OEM Brake Cable

Or, you could get this lever and cable kit:
7/8" Brake Lever & Cable (NOS)

You'd also need this step retainer that goes though the cable hole on your brake drum assembly, noting again, you did not provide the diameter of the hole:
Step Retainer - AZ2373

You'd need two of these jam nuts for the step retainer above:
1/4-28 - Jam Nut - AZ8531 Fine thread

And a spring like this that goes between your step retainer and your brake arm, so the brake and cable will spring back (release) when you release the brake lever.
.438"OD 5/16"ID 3-1/8" Length Spring azusa 2390 az2390

This piece is to clamp the end of the cable as it exits your brake arm.
Cable Control Fitting - AZ2360

This is the best I can do without knowing anything about your bike, not seeing it, and not measuring it.

The Lever

I have levers.
I measured the holes'
I assume 3/8'
but the little cans are 1/4 that go in them. Scary loose'
I think I need a specialist. LOL

 

[KustomKartKid]

There's an odd-ball size cable ferrule...the one that the CAt's use....the OldMiniBikes has nos kits with the cable and handlebar lever....I'll bet that's the one you need.


I think this is it....

These are well made NOS units I've used a bunch of them........for 12 bucks you can't go wrong...if it don't work use it on something else.
