Hi. I may be wrong but the front brake torque arm is bolted to the wrong hole. It should go to the back one of the two.

Lovely job so far btw. :D

Hi Rob,

Hopefully You’ll have it finished for the spring and we can meet up en-route to North Wales. Myself and Ray occasionally call in to the “Tap” which is probably not too far from were you live.

Cheers Martin, that would be great and even more incentive to get my finger out!
The tap is no more than three miles from where I live.
