Bracket posted today should be with you by Thursday

Cheers buddy , had an early night last night so if you've sent your details i'll sort you out tonight

Cheers Andrew

That was quick!

Wasn't it just

Managed to fix my rear caliper bracket , drilled out the seized pin and replaced the snapped off ally guide , thank you Andy for the back up bracket

It's good that you have managed to salvage your bracket. The one I sent you is pretty badly worn.

Andy it is worn but still ha life in it & I'm sure it could have an insert machined & fitted if needs be

Well popped out to the garage this afternoon , spent a couple of hours out there & everything was coming together slowly , ended up messing around with the rear caliper a fair but but got everything back together went to adjust the rear wheel & its out of line , as you set the chain side snail adjuster to 20 the disk side was holding off so the snail was a few mm off so i think i'll try a small adjustment to the guide that i repaired but will do it another day . . . . . . . i left the garage before ratchets , spanners and bike parts started flying around !

Sounds like you should take a break and go back to it in the new year with a cool head mate

Merry Christmas

sounds like i shouldn't be such stroppy T**T
and i didn't even get a PS4 today
on a serious note i agree with you sean & walked away for a day or two

How are you getting on?

Have you managed to sort the tear brake bracket out?

been busy over christmas bud and did something really silly when i first broke up & i should know better .
when i fitted my rear wheel it wouldn't line up as i stated above , i tried all sorts even remaking the repair on my bracket to no avail , i tried the one that you gave me but the spindle hole is at least 5mm if not 10 mm bigger than the original CRM spindle hole and its narrower ( i'll sort picks at some point ) so i tried to sort mine out & in a blind bit of stupidity which i should have known better i snapped my bracket trying to bend it ( you can't bend cast , this i know already Doh ! ) so i need yours more than ever , i'll get a spacer made that will widen it and also space the spindle hole but at the moment it's on hold , i think i need a little break from it & with the wife booking holidays , her booking concerts (slipknot & machine head), the CRM and christmas i've over spent
hope you had a good christmas & new year bud

Wonder whether this product would work or has been tried by anyone on this forum?

Good call buddy , I'll let you know

had a go with it & it wouldn't stick to the "pig iron" ally , ohhh well not sure if i couldn't get it hot enough of its just s**t cast stuff , had a feeling it wouldn't work .
on another note had an impromptu visit to leisure trail & picked up a set of wheel bearings & seals
i always have the bracket that Andrew sent to fall back on
