Not to forget the Amberola V, which can be much less expensive than the above

Here is a photo of the auto brakes in kit form I'll be offering at Wayne tomorrow. The lever is stainless steel and I don't know where the discoloration in the photo came from. They are clean but some have scratches. They will be supplied with 2 wires for making control arms in case you get the bends wrong on the first attempt. I'll have an Edison Standard 'A' and 'B' each equipped with one of these brakes for demonstration. Price is $20 each. We can also talk about making the bends and how to drill them.
