I understand the 15 degree tilt toward the front. That looks like it will be correct.

My question is about how these slightly asymmetric arms tilt toward or away from the wheel to provide clearance for the brake rods from the shock absorbers. A close look at page 7-5 of the RGJS "Early 1928 through June 1928" brake shaft picture may clarify.

I think it's a minor point, but I want to get some opinions before I peen the pins. I really don't want to redo these.

Thanks, wrndln and Bob.
