Hi Morris,
I think the spindle size is different on the Ariel wheel ??
That sounds like an awful lot of work to change everything around??
I went back to some old shoes and NOS linings from eBay, I made steel pads for the shoes so the arm worked at the correct angle to the cable (apparently originally the linings were thicker ?)
I shortened the cable, inner and outer to get it as straight as possible and got the cross over arm lever at
approx 90 deg angle to the cable, It now works fine
All the pattern cables are too long to work properly
Try this guy for NOS shoes/ linings, I think it was from him that I got some shoes from at Stafford ??????
