10 quid?! That's a bargain mate. If he's got any more, might be worth grabbing them while you can. Don't try & push the piston straight in Tone -it's on a screw thread. Turn it clockwise as you push it in. The pistons are operated by hydraulic pressure for normal braking, being pushed out by the fluid, but sit against a plate that's screwed out when you haul the handbrake on. That satisfies the requirement that the handbrake be mechanically operated & not part of the hydraulic system. Here's a useful step by step guide to overhauling them: Caliper overhaul |

resize them,
Can do it with any image program.. even "paint" that comes with any windows PC..
Open in paint, then click "image" then resize. Try 50%, then save.
Then upload them here..

been working on setting out my frame today,got it all square and set up,deciding which front to put on .
welded the engine mounts on and braced the frame at the headstock and behind the box.
ill be putting the back end on in the morning,found some pipe on a frame for holding wire which fit inside my frame tubes and also have the exact bend i need for using when i put the pipe from my axel to the frame ,,,,,,,,,,,result,these frames are thrown away on an almost daily basis.they chuck them into me dads scrap skip.
will put some pics on tonight.
