fatblokeonbandit Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 I’m using cardboard 6 mm plastic sheet then 10 mm ally Quote Link to comment
bluedog59 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 6mm plastic sheet ?! Hark at you with your fancy modern materials. I thought a nice bit of marine ply would be right up your street. Quick coat of ship varnish and you can hang it up for future use. Quote Link to comment

If the rearset dictates the master cylinder needs to be horizontal there’s not much of a cooler way to mount it. Quote Link to comment

I’m going to reuse it later, but as I have only 3 weeks until Anglesey I just need some pegs in a place that is slightly comfortable. So the pegs I have will do for now.. 1 Quote Link to comment

fatblokeonbandit Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Mmmmmmm not sure about this at all But needs must and all that got to crack on as no time before Classic day at Anglesey so make it work and sort it out later at least the pegs are in the right place now 1 Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I like the slave cylinder set up, looks cool Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 yes but the bracket bolted to a bracket and the lever in the wrong place it just looks untidy?????????????? Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Moved the lever around a bit and tried the pegs for position very comfy but still looks untidy Quote Link to comment

Now that you’ve worked out the position of it all I think you need to bite the bullet and get your hacksaw out and remake this piece (rearset/hanger), but with your new correct ergonomicly positioned peg. #briandeservesbetter. 1 Quote Link to comment
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 That’s plan “D” as I haven’t got a bit of ally plate big enough 1 Quote Link to comment
