Yeah, I don't have a lever, I did try to trace the cables but couldn't figure out where they went, too tight underneath the thing, I do have a small T handle that is on the right side of the floor board that runs to a pin that sticks out in the front, do you have any idea what that is for? Any chance that you could send me a picture of the brake lever on yours? My cell is 605-261-5912 you could just text it to me. Thanks for all the help, I am hoping to start using this thing soon, but would like to make sure it is all good before. Thanks Jay
