Got my discs back from the turner..but had to take back the wheel disc..needed 1/4inch more taken off,plus I need a bronze bush for the caliper mount..so I tacked on a temp bracket to hold the handbrake caliper in place..and no I'm not using the original jag ones..plus iv had this one sitting in my workshop since 1997 ( £74,from pop browns ) which iv been dying to use..

Yes it's a neat fully adjustable unit and rebuildable..and cheaper to buy nowadays ? Just need to make a nice looking ( strong) bracket to mount it on which also allows me to remove,not much space

Got the wheel/disc/caliper bracket back in place..so more measuring for spacers/bolts/ etc..springers look good,but such a pain to work with on your own..

Every day I feel like that ! As long as you are having fun then it's worthwhile.

Got rid of my cousins trike ( for a while ?) stripped down my springer for welding/polishing and new rocker shoulder bolts,and knocked up a new front seat mount..so number 1 off my list of 16 things to do..but I'm sure the list will grow instead of shrink ?
