Vintage Sachs 98er (Thoria) brakes issue

Hello all,
while the main restoration job on my 1956er Thoria light motorcycle is makin good headway, i am kinda stuck with the rear brakes today. Hope that somebody has a similar bike and can help me out of my pit. Thing is : When i bought it, the rear brakes were connected to the brake-foot pedal with a throttle cable (bowden cable) which ended in some small adapter shell. It was totally rotten, so i didnt mind too much as i thought i can replace it with some self tailored solution. Meanwhile i was thinking if i can maybe replace the wire for a thin brake-steel rod, and i think i want to go for that as i do not see any advantage for the cable solution over the rod (anybody opposite ideas to that?) but my main problem is the question how thatv rod / wire is to be fixed on the rear brake lever. As you can see in my attachment, i can identify the notch/hack which is to hold the shell with the adjustor-thread/worm. But it is completely loose, its just laying in there and its not fixed at all, so i would guess it will take the first opportunity while i am pulling the brake and hop right out of that hack - wouldnt it ? I have seen similar levers on my other old bikes, but they were slightly different, on these other bikes the arm/lever didnt have an open hack, but a fork which has a hole on both sides, a shell is pushed through which then holds the addjusting thread of the steel rod. In that szenario, nothing can move out of the brakes setup, but here ?? Does anybody know how this is supposed to work, can send a picture or a firm description of what i may be missing here ? Thanks in advance, excuse my bad english, hope i could make myself understood...
Cheers,
Lars

Hello,,
thanks for mentioning it, i fiorgot : Yes, unfortunatly that thing DOES rotate, so no way i can only let the rod slide in and let it rest there, it will come up and out sure as sh...
I really have the feeling there must be an easy fix to it, maybe some piece is missing or...i dunno...I checked Ebay for such spares, and i see that many brake plates show such an lever , so i do no9t think mine is broken or a selfmade piece of the pre-decessor, i more tend to think i am missing some...tiny little...something... I guess i will need a pic of a bike which runs with such a brake, and then it will come clear in a sec...
Hm. Lets see, maybe somebody has the missing link at hand..
Cheers, tx,

Cheers Bairdco,
i think you are spot on, that rivet has to go. If somebody has an idea where to get the original spares i`d possibly go for it, but if not so i`m going to drill that thing away and replace it with the default setup you mentioned, thats the very szenario i had in mind as well. Thanks, cheers,
Lars

Tx Eddy,
i will definetly contact him. I had te link to the webshop already on my radar, but the store isnt active yet, they are re-opening first week of april, which i was anticipating already. But good to know that this isnt only for spared for for info as well. Knowing people is key, i learned that during my restauration (if not before). Thanks again, cheers,
Lars

Hello all,
seems a long time since i logged in last. I didnt have too much progress on my bike, but at least the fork is overhauled and painted now, and - believe it or not - i think i finally found out about the brakes issue. I`ll upload a picture which will explain how the rod is fixed at the rear breaks, maybe its helping anybody at some later point in time...
