thanks for that,i just took off the old centre pull brake,i thought it was a cheap version
as the front brake was  real cheap brake,but it turns out the rear brake is a dia compe 750
 stamped 87 and still has the original dc cable in it so im one happy chap  :daumenhoch:

 but thanks for your help :daumenhoch:
