  I got it from eBay, if it’s the front right you’re after you’re in luck, this is the listing and they still have one left. Not sure if they have any front lefts though - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154452984104

  the pivot point is NOT the point where you attach the socket. the pivot point is that little circle few cm towards the handle. if you move the weighs around the handle, you are actually "changing the torque setting". every torque wrench has a marking which shows where you should ideally apply the force in regards to the pivot point so that the torque to the socket is correct.

  hot tip, the Goodridge hoses do fit and have the bracket. 10 brake pumps with fluid, then 10 handbrake pulls. should adjust the piston. there is adjustment under the car, under the plastics directly under the gearstick. next time, just stick the breaker bar between the wheel studs so it wedges into the ground. then you can use the torque wrench on the hub nut.

• 
  @EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness16 күн бұрын

  We ended getting some blueprint hoses which have the proper metal brackets. I did consider trying to stop the wheel spinning with a breaker in the studs, but was concerned about potential bending the wheel studs. Although realistically that would probably take a lot more torque than is required to do up the hub nut

  Shade tree alignment tip, especially handy for people who have many miles to drive to the alignment shop. If you only do one side and your steering wheel was straight before. Get it close by eye, bring your wrenches, drive it, look at the steering wheel position. If it's off, stop, adjust tie rod a half-turn. Drive again, see if wheel is worse or better. Repeat till it's straight again, put the final "click" on the locknut. This doesn't work at all if you do both sides at once, but if you only do one, you'll be pretty close. Also doesn't cover caster/camber if you messed with anything other than the tie rods.

• 
  @EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness21 күн бұрын

  That probably would have helped as I only messed with one side. I did look into trying a string alignment but decided just to get it done professionally as there are three different places in the same industrial estate as our workshop that do alignments

There’s other projects as well, like the cb500 scrambler project I started a while back, and has been on hold for a while. I also need to decide what I’m doing with that cursed Vauxhall Omega, so that could become a project. And I’ve got a couple of other projects I’d like to start once misty is on the road

  You fitted a stock exhaust? The full system is no longer available from Suzuki, and were over £2,100 when they last were available. Did you really fit a second hand 26 year old exhaust system? You are just asking for it to snap. New old stock would work, but I doubt there are any left. One of the first things I did on mine when I got it, also R reg, was throw the factory exhaust away. It looked like a blind six year old had used it to fail to lean how to mig weld on. A good aftermarket stainless system is under £400. (i went Black Widow.) My front brake light switch was also dodgy, genuine new, too cheap to even consider trying to bring back to life. Ditto the rear switch. Recon all 3 calipers. All partially seized. Stainless steel pistons, new seals, repaint. Professional seat recover. Remove rear mudguard and discard, replace with second-hand one not chopped up and mutilated. I like the original look, not the chopped up look. Replace all brake hoses. They were stainless braided, and going rusty. Not that stainless really. Return to factory 3 hose front layout with a splitter. Bespoke stainless chain guard, the factory one was warped, and looked like an old dog chew-toy. Replace failed carb-heater plugs, harness and sensor. Strip, ultrasonic clean, and rebuild carbs with new gaskets. discard all the factory “made from toffee’ Phillips screws, use stainless Allen headed ones. Strip the carb mounting brackets in rust remover/acid. re-plate. New genuine: throttle cables, clutch cable, clutch worm drive thingy. Remove a load of rusty bolts/nuts. Stainless. Powder coat the wheels, pillion handles and top/bottom yolks in black, to match the rest of the bike. New fuel tap, genuine, it did not shut off.
