Insurance kicks in 6 June.
Will un-sorn & get a new rear. MoT due end of June so will do that with the tyre.
If all goes swimmingly, it might come to Shakespeare-land.

Was considering it. but new lever doesn't fit and I wouldn't trust that clutch in a group.
Bodgit & Hope time. If I can do it on Saturday, maybe...just maybe.

Good luck, remember the end result depends on the amount of prep work you put in before starting to spray, I found that out the hard way ;).

Makes your head wobbly as well if you breath it in. Saves on beer though.

Finished. Need to replace it now.
Nowhere near as good as I'd hoped for, and nowhere near as bad as I though it might be.

Nah, for 'replace' read re-fit. Large lumps of mended plastic.

I always end up with nuts/bolts left over, Iv got a jar in the garage I put them in and after a thousand miles or so if nothing's fell of then I work on the theory that they can't be that important and throw them away. :)
