Under Tank Brake Master Cylinder Setup

Post by jackonz »

Am getting closer to getting my R80/7 back on the road, but need some info from those in the know, as the feeler gauge for setting the brake cable adjustment is missing I need to make a replacement.
What I need to know from someone who has one what thickness it is, someone told me he thinks it's 0.010" but could not confirm it.

Thanks in anticipation.

The thickness is 1.168mm. Part number is 71-11-9-090-154 for the feeler gage set. Snowbum has a picture about 1/2 down this page:
