Brake lever mounting stud

#1 PostAuthor: Bill Newman » Sun May 20, 2012 9:29 pm

I have just wrung the stud off the frame on my Z900 A4 that retains the brake arm on the mount. Does anyone know if it is mounted through the frame( like footrest studs) or is it integral to the frame and therefore needing to have a new stud welded. I have just had the frame painted and do not want to have to scrape away more than neccesary

Damn thing felt like it was made of cheese when it sheared...

I had forgotten that I had put these up. Yes it is that stud. Was refitting the brake arm this afternoon and it turned off not much more than finger tight. Guess I will have too do the drill thing - pity is that its a rolling chassis now so drilling will need a steady hand...
