I hope you are not actually throwing them away! You can always send them to me, instead.

All-points duly noted, certainly. I just lost my patience! I have very limited time to work on this kind of stuff and wanted to get on the bike ASAP. Now it'll sit for a couple of more months most likely. Oh well, it's only taken a few years to get to this point, what's another month or two....
Oldpotatoe was right that little tiny hole needed to be cleaned out quite a bit, it had a ton of gunk in there. more importantly a tiny small piece of metal came out of the cam area after I pulled it off of The handlebar and took out all of the cabling and housing. I have no idea where the metal piece came from, but clearly it look like it snapped off of something. Likely something inside. So yes these are in the dumpster, would not want anybody to attempt to use these things and jeopardize their safety. I just hope the new ones I ordered are actually in stock and available. Very hard to find NOS units. Quote:

yeah that damned thing is tiny as heck indeed. to get to the point of seeing the allen screw, i ended up using the tip of a utility knife to gently scrape off the gunk, then a toothbrush damp with simple green scrubbing/poking at it again & again & again....
gotta love the italians to come up with something so oddball placed and ridiculously small, for something that is (or can be) a very critical function.  Quote:

On levers supplied as complete levers from the factory, the screw is pre-set during QC and covered over with silicone sealant so that end-users won't tamper with it ... as Old Potatoe rightly says, if it's adjusted "in" too far, it messes with the pre-loading of the cable and that can have a knock-on effect on the whole shift pattern, which is also tested at QC. Bodies that are sold as spare parts, i.e. without the brake lever installed, you'll find don't have the screw sealed over, because the exact position of the brake lever can vary very slightly on installation - it's in the nature of the moulding of the lever body that there can be tiny variations in the alignment of the levers. Generally the hope is that end users will go to a competent mechanic to have a lever body replaced rather than doing it themselves. You'll find that the presence of the alignment screw is not documented in the public domain precisely because Campagnolo *don't* want end customers or mechanics who have not had the downside of incorrect adjustment explained to them, messing about with it. If you saw the number of end users making a complete mess of gear adjustment as we do at the SCs and in the shops ... and the knock-on damage that they cause (which of course, is *never* their own fault for undertaking a task for which they don't have the skills), you'd understand the motivation ...

Yeah baby!
Mama mia original hoods were a b!^&%$!! to remove. Replacement "gum" hoods from Hudz not that much easier to get on, although a liberal splash of rubbing alcohol inside the hoods helped. Gum hoods courtesy of ntb1001, they are IMPOSSIBLE to find. Thanks amigo!

You really learn something new everyday.
Only my right lever clicks (once on rear braking), although both levers are out of alignment with the tap-pads. I had noticed this after buying the group from a forumite, and it did not take long to understand what was happening. But I had no idea there was an alignment screw. I doubt I'll do anything about... I've got a couple thousand miles on it now and don't ever think about it. I kind of like the click of the lever as I engage the brake... But it is great to have a thread that goes through this! Thanks 54ny77!  The gum hoods look sharp. Brown leather wrap? Build pics pls.
