I've just got a new pattern front brake lever for my '74 TX650A from a well-known specialist supplier, but the darn thing just won't fit properly. I had to slightly enlarge the hole in the lever to acomodate the lever fitting screw, but it just doesn't want to sit neatly in the lever so the thread in the bracket will take up the thread: forcing it could strip it all and require a new master cyclider. Other than a thus fruitless web search for an OEM lever, I'm unsure what to try: anybody had a similar experience with pattern parts, or have any suggestions for a supplier with good stuff?
