Even though the caliper on a HUS-SKI appears to be the same as any other caliper...surprise!!!... it is not. If you install a caliper from another machine , the two pins which operate the brake, will be aligned vertically whereas on a hus-skI those pins must be aligned horizontally so that the actuating arm is in the vertical position (more acurately the 7 o'clock position). On your brake handle there is a special part which holds the brake cable.

The caliper has its pins in the horizontol position when installed
Is my arm maybe wrong ?
It is about two and a half inches long
What hooks the cable to the arm?
Can you describe the piece that hooks the handle to the cable so i could make one

Thanks
Bruce

That sounds like a good position. With the small pulley on the floor of the engine compartment, the angle of the cable should be correct. What happens when you engage the brake?

Here are a few photos which I hope will clear up the attaching question for both ends of the brake cable.

Barrie thank you for the pictures
My arm is not the same but if you can give me a center to center measurment of the holes i can make it work
Any chance you have any of the cable ends you would

Thanks again Bruce
