My original 69 version lever sets look as above, so no use posting more pics. Notice that a lot of the newer ones don't have threaded cable adjusters, I find the non-threaded ones a disaster. I rebuilt my sets, but it was about 10 years ago and I got a lot of single lever parts from BritBikes, somewhere in the midwest as I remember. They had some NOS stuff it looked like. It took me forever to find the parts. I got a lever from Walridge that looked right, don't know where it came from. I went through a couple sets that had the mirror mounts on them and other stuff. I did see some from the UK somewhere that looked right, but I never bought them once I got the parts I needed. I replaced the BA flat screws with SS #10's sockets. Sacrilege I know, but you can't see them. Andover may have them too by now, he's making stuff for the early bikes not available in most places. Lots of stuff changed in 71.

Second and third yes.

Hi Dave,
the not threaded cable adjusters are for Atlas and P11/ N15.

Piero is right. Let me find my pictures of my original 69/70 lever sets and I'll post them. Then there's the switch assembly. That's another conundrum.

Those are replacement adjusters, but they have the threads.
