Just got the other caliper off, without removing the wheel etc.
All ready to get the new parts ordered
Still need to find a set of shocks (4) for a reasonable price. Really fancy some gas adjustable ones, but reckon they will be too expensive.
The springs do not taper, so I could just buy standard and cut the spring down if required.

Re: Midnight Max - The ongoing rebuild
I sent the calipers off you reconditioning to a guy over in Ludlow.
The courier, Hermes, has lost them. Luckily I chose to pay the extra £10 to insure them for £220.
I'm currently arranging for the guy to send me a pair, though I none to give him to reduce the cost. Hopefully I will not end up out of pocket.

I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Hermes pulled open my garage door and threw a parcel in, luckily no damage to parcel or Trike in landed on. Pricks
Freedom has a price, the cost is buried in the ground

I won't use hermes for a number of reasons, but of course there's no way to control how someone sends you stuff.

Re: Midnight Max - The ongoing rebuild
I've stopped using herpes as they lost a number of things I've sent, one irriplacible, they also have a habit of knock and run when they deliver to me and their customer service sucks! Their extensive search of their depot took all of 30 seconds and they lie through their teeth! Dispicable bunch

Those calipers are the kiss of 'kin death.
I ordered a complete recon set, at £150 each, last Thursday and apparently they are still in Transit!!
I ordered a replacement battery, for the one I blew up, at 14:50 yesterday and it arrived at about 11:00 this morning,
AAAAAARGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!
Now, where's me rum bottle.

Rum is still in transit.
