Mk2 Resorection
Re: Mk2 Resorection
Rear brake , think I have a bent front disk but have 2 spares , may fit my other wheels so I can check the rims on these as I think the rear is corroded so that means bearings ,new pads & fit the chain slider so other than tidying it up which will be next year I'm aiming to get it mot'd in Feb

Re: Mk2 Resorection
In the garage today to sort out the stuck caliper pin , managed to free the caliper but disaster struck trying to get the pin out !
Brand new vice I'd just fitted !
Now just need to drill the pin out , replace the pin & sort out the locating guide I snapped off a couple of weeks ago .

Re: Mk2 Resorection
That's a good advert for a Clarke vice.
I've got one so will have to be careful with it.
Did you see my email re rear brake bracket?

Re: Mk2 Resorection
i did have the caliper to the far side of the jaws & was swinging on the vice handle to tighten it up but i still wouldn't expect that !
Andrew you are a star buddy , your Email had gone to my junk folder so thank you for mentioning it here !
£10 should cover the postage if your ok with that and do you have paypal so i can get the wife to send you the money ?
I'm down your neck of the woods next weekend visiting the wifes friends and family in bridgend , the wife used to work for JT's & Thunder road in bridgend & also M&P's many moons ago

Re: Mk2 Resorection
If you would prefer to look at the bracket and decide whether you want it when you're visiting next weekend that's fine by me. I'll check postage cost tomorrow. I do have a Paypal Acc but have only ever used it to pay for things!
It really is great having M&P on the doorstep. They had a fire which destroyed their warehouse some years ago. It has since been replaced which a really smart facility.
