    Blackburn, you're a life saver. Just looked and realised that I have put two of the same ones on one wheel!! Now everything is going together nicely. Thanks

    brake parts missing?

    What am Idoing wrong? I can't get the pads to sit on the back plate, the springs seem too tight....

    brake parts missing?

    Only one end of my 'new' cylinder pushes back out. Is that right?

    OK time for dumb questions. Will I need longer axle straps due to my longer shocks and shackle plates? Or do the extended bump stops cancel the extra out?

    Knotted wheel for everything and various versions of the smaller wire attached for the drill for smaller spaces. Manged to get almost all of it down to bear metal before priming and painting.
