Clutch Lever Position

What is the correct position for the clutch lever in relation to the fork? An engine I am working on is in a frame that did not have a hand brake on it, and I cannot bolt the hand brake up to the frame. It seems the cam for the adjustment bolt sits too high.
I've removed the hand brake from my running T before and was able to replace it without moving the engine. Will engine removal on the frame be required?

Speaking from memory here so everything I say is highly suspect. I believe the cross shaft from a TT truck has a higher cam because of the truck's wider frame rails. Could that be your problem?

I do not know if that's the case. Both sets of bolt holes line up to my frame. So I am not entirely sure. Also the hand brake I have has a funky jog in the pawl release rod.

Well, that was easy to figure out.
The brake lever cam on my running car is 3 inches tall. The cam on the bare frame with just an engine is FOUR inches tall.
It's never gonna work. LOL

I second that you have a TT part, which has a taller cam.
