I think Andy Francis showed me some beautiful CNC machined ali items for this task, but I would thread a petrol pipe over the cable to protect it from the front tyre. A thick, short cable is the key to getting the reverse pull to work well, and the petrol pipe helps by beefing up the strength of the cable.

Looks pretty simple - maybe you could get one made ?

I made mine out of some stainless that was donated by a shopping cart :ninja:Stokie wrote:Cambridge Lambretta - £4.95 (but out of stock)Stokie wrote:I'm sure I've seen a wire type one somewhere from one of the known dealers Ithink

And, further to what Knowledge was saying about length of cable/stiffness etc. I have mine set up on a drum brake. I had it set up with a normal cable and it was usable, but a bit hairy. Then , I changed the normal scoot cable for a much sturdier, nearly solid steel cable outer with a plastic liner for the inner, sort of like a choke cable from older days. Now the brake is absolutely unuseable and locks the front end up just breathing on it.
That's not going anywhere...
