This is how you assemble the brake balance bar before it goes in. The actual balance bar is made out of 304 stainless and we cut it right here on our water jet.





Here is a picture of the other side of the balance bar--showing the brake return spring bracket that bolts into the middle of the balance bar.





Here Joe is putting in the bias bar. MAKE SURE THE SHAFT GOES INTO THE GUIDE BUSHING!!! It looks like in the photo that Joe is a little bit off, but he actually is not. You have to screw the clevis forks on the balance bar onto the push rods and it flops all over the place while you do it. If you don't want your pedal box guts to flop all over the place when everything is finally bolted together then MAKE SURE THE SHAFT ON THE BALANCE BAR FORK GOES INTO THE GUIDE BUSHING!!! It is worth repeating.
