Yeah, but then I realised that I'd picked up the wrong box and put them back on the shelf.

I thought they were bathing caps, just for the tip lol

Femidoms?

Hahaha your right!!! The easy on dom is also pre drilled just like their panels

I had a load of notifications and opened the thread to pure vulgarity.





Good work haha

As per my other thread I split 1st rear caliper. James and disco said this was fine but rave does say not to. If it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.
@Disco1BFG the o ring out of it actually looks in mint condition. Reckon it's worth sourcing and changing anyways? I think your right in that none of the kits come with it now. Some pictures show it on lr direct but then your can select the bearmach or whatever that I don't think it's included within if that makes sense.

you can reuse the seal if its in good nick and protrudes well above the recess,so you know its going to be compressed

This was my thought James the o ring sits nice and proud and it spotless. I went for the stainless pistons Too. These will be no effort to rebuild. I did Scooby ones last and they were a pig!

@jamesmartin what would you recommend to torque the two bolts that hold the 2 components together as one please?
