Yesterday was one of those days..nowt went right..gave up..today was bit better..worked on mudguard /prop brake and propshaft ..in order to not have lots of silly brackets holding the handbrake caliper..I mounted it on 2 tubes welded to the chassis..which means if I need to remove/change pads I have to strip it apart ?..the propshaft went on and off several times till I eventually got the correct length ( said the actress to the vicar )
And I started glassing up the mudguards..(well one of them ) I also popped round to see a mate of mine..to see the latest bike he's just built for a customer

Spent past two days messing about with the front end..bolts/anti friction washers..trying to find out what bike the caliper came from? Decided to strip the paint off the front wheel..by hand..bit sad but I enjoy the solitude while listening to the radio...
