1974 Strada Front Brake and Clutch levers

No luck attaching a photo due to file size apparently but my lever blades appear to be mismatched as the brake lever has a projection which sits inside the clamp slightly when at rest whereas the clutch butts up against the clamp. This difference may have been standard for all I know but if not then to satisfy my OCD does anyone know which lever would have been right? I will probably then be looking for a match!

Are you asking about the brake lever switch? I might have a picture of it somewhere as mine is dismantled right now.

You might be onto something. My bike does not have a front brake switch but maybe later ones did and needed a different blade shape to fit inside the clamp and operate it in which case maybe my brake lever is from such a later model. If this is right then someone somewhere will probably want to do a swap. Thanks
