The brake crank bosses were made and silver soldered on to the cranks and the excess machined and filed off.
The brake shaft was machined as well to suit the cranks. The arms that hold the handbrake nut were filed and drilled out to size to suit the new brake shaft and silver soldered on. The end result is a very free and smooth operation completely unlike how it was.
All that remains of the brake shaft job is to pin the cranks to the shaft with some cross pins.
Happy steaming!
