tried the cable tie way to tension the spring in the caliper... turned out the better way was to put a socket over the spring case and clamp it whilst using 2 butchered screwdivers as a makeshift pair of circlip pliers

cheers andy, often thought about putting laquer over red oxide, like the matt effect.

put new battery's in camera terry, when flash's on now the whole screens blank white. don't know what to do with it.
brakes work but rods too long and flexing, got some thin apx 5mm stainless rod  I'm going to replace the threaded bar with, running it through some tight fitting fuel pipe which in turn will go through stainless tube fixed to the frame. will try maybe fitting a grease nipple on it so the rubber fuel pipe slides easy in the tube.
