I just got a set of original Bennett small drum brakes. Problem is the levers were both cut off. What I am looking for is the distance from the mounting point on the shoe to the point where the cable/rod pull rod mounts. There is enough left that I can get angles/bends, so what I need is just point to point in a straight line.
Thanks

Mark, hope the pictures posted as I’m sending on my phone. The distance from the pin on the drum to the middle hole is 1.2 inches. From drum pin to top lever plan hole is 4.7 inches. From middle hole to end of lever is 4.4 inches. All measurements are center to center

Thank you. While mine are original I think those measurements will work just fine.
