MRC (?) U brake

[raidan73]

anyone think that is a brodie brake booster?

I thought it looked like one Roy

it's close, but too rounded on the ends i think.
plus holes appear to be drilled after anodized.
thanks for input adrian.

I thought the shape was there or there abouts but the holes look a bit diy

Yep, does look very much like DIY drilling. Spacing isn't great and no de-burring. Paul is quite an artisan and would get the spacing between the holes to look visually more pleasing. Plus anyone who has watched his YouTube channel will see that he's a big fan of a deburr tool!

Maybe this booster was the reason for Paul to get the tool

Thanks, @24pouces, I do see some differences though: have you seen the setup for brake blocks as on the brakes I acquired before?

Nice overview of boosters @Retro_Roy: mine is not a Brodie booster indeed..
