New rear brake system! was created by Kateri66
Was having trouble with my rear brake cable pinching and not returning when released. My dad & his friend came up with this cool "push me, pull you" rod & bell crank setup. It works great! Gotta love old-school machinists!

How about a return spring attached to the bell crank?
Still recovering,some days are better than others.
