Brake Levers
Which side do rear brake levers (that attach to brake rods) that slip on break actuators goes toward the backing plate and hub - flat or beveled side? Same question on emergency brake levers.

Anyone had experience with Berg's radiators in Il?
Did original radiators for 1929 have vertical tubes two deep or were they three deep? Round or flat?
