Installing Rocky Mountain Brake Slider

My 22 came with Rocky Mountain brakes but without the sliding adjuster. I bought one but it didn’t come with instructions and the ones in the Rocky Mountain website are not very clear. Does anyone have a picture and advice on how it goes in?

The sliding adjuster slotted end mounts to the upright arm of the equalizer bar that swings from the Ford cross shaft.

The other clevis end mounts to the tab of the brake pedal. Be sure the parts fit smoothly without binding, I like to grind the brake pedal casting to fit the new clevis so all works well together. Thin down the brake tab, and cut corners off, so if the threaded rod needs adjusting length, it can't hit the tab as it rotates.

Interesting, mine didn’t come with a clevis and the part it’s replacing is just an “L” with a cotter pin in the end to keep it in place. My brake pedal has the welded on tab. Here is a picture of the parts, take off on the bottom, the new parts I got on the top.

Also, the new one appears to be longer than the original.

I dug around in my parts and found a nice clevis. Fitted it a bit then set it to the same length as the one I took out. Seems to work ok. I will do some adjusting when the wheels are back on.
