A few months ago, I described the manufacture of a new nut and bolt to operate Sentinel 7109's handbrake. Today I fitted it into place.

Some large split pins are still needed to complete the job. The largest I had are 1/4" diameter. 3/8" are needed. These things are big!
Optimism!
The brakes will have to be adjusted after the drive chains have been fitted but they do at least operate from the handle. The roller bearing under the handle seems to work satisfactorily.
