Toylander brakes fitted and working pictures

Note the smooth inside of the rim and the dome headed bolts we had to source and fit,as the original hex headed bolts would foul the brake rubber ends.

This section was to me the great unknown,how do all those metal parts we had made work and if so,will they work on our standard of wheel available to us at this time? The friction material in the builders manual is a short length of 1" (25mm) rubber tube,thats a neat idea and when its faced up to a rim with a rim thats flat on the inside face, presents a decent friction surface.In our case the rims are less ideal but using a rubber cap on the tube end has seen the system work well,with some hole adjustments the foot brake and the hand brake work well.
