BTW I also modeled the components & assembly:



Note: Thread on special nut corrected 2/6/2015 from 7/16 to 5/16 UNF

^ That is Impressive, Might just print it off and get my local engineering shop to make me one

Must have taken ages to do that. Thanks for Sharing.

Phil, I don't mean to criticize in any way....that is admirable work but some of the dimensioning call outs are confusing to me.

Chris, I sent you a PM yesterday.

Well, my S1 doesn't have an anti sizzle and anyone using the drawing would figure it out pretty quick so I am just being nit picky. My drafting instructor from many moons ago would have me over the coals for it so I just want to mention that the call out on the nut at the top of the page is for 7/16 UNF when, I believe, the shank should have an OD of 7/16 and the ID should be 5/16 UNF threaded. just a little unclear and different from what I was taught!

Whoops...double post! I have either developed a tick or my mouse has developed a nasty double click tendency.

It's not confusing, just in plain error

The thread on the nut should be 5/16 UNF (to match the lever); The shank should be .432 (measured on 4 washers) to give some clearance on the washers. Thanks for drawing this to my attention (no pun), I'll correct the print & re-post.
