Rear brake question
I'm replacing both emergency brake toggle lever bushing tubes and am planning to mig a tack weld on both. Is this all good or is there a better way?

Re: Rear brake question
Why are you planning to do this?

Re: Rear brake question
I have used a 1" ball bearing and a press to swedge in the tube when it is loose or being salvaged from another plate--looks like the factory did it when finished

Re: Rear brake question
I also have swedged in the bushing tubes using the lug swedging tool from Brattons. It worked great, seems to be solidly in place, and looks good, but I haven't re-installed yet, so I can't say how it will hold up with use.

Re: Rear brake question
TD..........I buzzed mine with a mig and dressed it up with a dremel. Add black paint and it looks fine.
