    That's a good price, have seen some black anodised ones for £35 reduced from £48

    Dude, if anyone walked into the garage when I fitted the rear last week there would have been lives lost!

    Got a 'method' to keep the rear caliper mount in place but the spacers falling out nearly started a civil war!
    Thinking of also buying a secondary rear axle to locate the wheel from the brake side

    Cost me 1.34 and half an hour on my lathe to make these. Certainly a lot less bother than the standard versions that fall out though!!

    caliper bracket works wonders aswell as the captive spacers.
