Well I managed to get into the garage and fabricate the front caliper bracket, Rob Hunt had kindly sent up a selection of wheel spacers so I could get the front wheel centralised. The making of the bracket turned out to be a tedious but rewarding job as the AP Racing 6 pot caliper and the 320mm dia PFM disc will stop a train me thinks. One downer to the day was when I positioned the other front wheel on the spindle I found that it was also buckled! so I have now 2 wheels that need straightening. I have been told they could be used but me being a perfectionist I want them to run true.
I was contacted recently by a guy from Indiana, USA and at first thought that it was an April fools joke, his name was Dave Bennett!! yes there is more than one of us, " Oh bugger" I hear you cry! he is also carrying out a bike rebuild, a Yamaha FZR400 that he intends to race, it also turns out we have a lot in common and he is a genuine guy that loves racing bikes so check out his blog: http://davesfzr400.blogspot.com/
