Went for a blocky or two. Nasty stuff, way out of tune.

Danny I need those arms aye, these ones are different lengths and it's getting all messy. I also need some tiny little screws that hold the bracket on. Don;t like my chances on finding any that aren't OEM.

So how long have I got till this bearing dies?

Just drop your box.....LOL

Oh Dan, By arms I meant the throttle linkage that goes from throttle shaft to carby.

Bled the brakes for hours, I can get pressure after a fair few pumps and the pressure holds but there seems to be an air-pocket somewhere. Annoying.

mabee the spigot bush...
where ya shaft goes into the hole..
