This 2-hole parkerized mechanical brake shaft lever is a correct replacement for early drum brake assemblies on vintage Harley-Davidson Kucklehead, panheads and Flathead models. Designed for mechanical brake systems, this lever mounts to the brake shaft and provides proper linkage connection and actuation.
Finished in a period-correct parkerized coating, it’s ideal for restorations or replacing worn, bent, or heavily pitted originals on pre- and post-war machines.
Replaces Harley-Davidson OEM 42560-37, ensuring correct fitment for 1936–1957 applications.
When you're working on mechanical drum brakes from this era, correct linkage geometry matters — and this lever keeps everything moving the way it should.
Harley-Davidson EL models – 1936–1940
