Brake Cable Dimensions: 1938 Autocycle

[jacob9795]

I’ve been slowly piecing together my ‘38 Autocycle Deluxe and was wondering what some dimensions are for the ‘big brake cable’; I’m mainly after diameters. I think this type predates 1940, I’m not sure. My cloth covered postwar brake cable assembly is approximately:

• 0.200” O.D. (With cloth/ double wound)
• 0.159” for the metal housing
• 12G cable
• Left-hand wind cable
• Left-hand wind metal housing

I wouldn’t worry too much about the diameter of the inner cable.
