Hi,
I know this is not a tractor, but I can't seem to find any active forums for forklifts. Please direct me to one if this discussion is not welcome here...
So, we recently acquired an old Lancer Boss MD6 (think that is the model number) forklift with a 4.203 Perkins engine and the Borg Warner T12 transmission. It was standing for a decade or so but we managed to rebuild the CAV DPA pump and get the engine running. Also worked on the transmission valve body and it seems to have forward + reverse now. One wheel is still off so haven't driven it yet. Busy with the brakes:
Hydraulic brake part seems very basic and rebuilt one slave and the master. The handbrake is a bit of a mystery.
There seems to be no transmission/differential hand brake nor is there enough components inside the brake drum to make it work. The wheel hub back plate(as well as the cast iron bit in front of it) only has a slot above the slave cylinder, about 1/2" high and about 1 1/2" long, the cast iron is quite thick there so it is about 1" deep, the hole looks a bit taper with rounded corners, draft angle for casting maybe?. It also has the small slot for manual adjustment at the bottom of the back plate.
The left shoe has a small boss/pin with a nut and the right shoe has a square (about 1/2") pin almost in the same location (mirrored) as the left shoe. All of this is on the right wheel. These things are located slightly below the big slot center line.
There are no other holes in the plate like on a car where the hand brake cable can enter. The handbrake cable dangling loose has a threaded boss on the outer cable, about 3/4" diameter, with a threaded rod, about 3/8" dia and about 2" long on the inner cable.
We have searched high and low and can not seem to find where the cable was attached to. The transmission has an inching valve that was jury rigged with some springs and washers and a homemade bracket. From pictures on the net, it seems the inching valve linkage bracket was bolted on top of the valve body(this was on some other forklift). Currently there is no OEM bracket on there and I'm inclined to think the handbrake cable might have attached to this plate also, but where did it go to from there??? There are no visible signs of holes/mountings of any kind on the chassis/frame/floor where a bracket or linkage system could have been mounted. so the valve body bolts is the only plausible explanation.
Any pictures, advice or manuals will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
