It runs on the new carb \o/ and now also has a working front brake. winner :cool: Naturally it wasn't *quite* as straightforward as that but I...
some more thread cutting bits arrived and it looks like with those I've been able to consolidate all the threads in the air system to use bsp...
new stop and, more importantly, *go* \o/ [ATTACH]
right, so the re-tapping the air-shock seems to have worked, it now accepts 1/8" BSP fittings nicely, and no swarf in the cylinder. win! The...
