Title: wtb: Baywindow clevis pin lever
Post by: Batan on April 25, 2013, 01:21:17 PM: The repros of these everyone sells does not have the correct geometry for the early Bay, so I'm looking for an original lever that is not worn.

Original on the left, repro on the right.

The geometry of the repro part renders the early cable on the early bus too short.

Cool, thanks Geoff!

Seems like that is the best thing to do. :)
