It was me that suggested binning the bike if no solution, but a solution found. I clocked one on ebay for 15 quid +PP. It arrived and was in not bad condition, a wire wooing and well sprayed with very high temp engine paint and job done. But just in case I also bought one from the USA in very good condition. I will give it the clean and spray treatment and keep it as a spare. The bike has done 23000 miles but left out all weathers so a lot of rusty bits to clean and paint. I only gave 500 for it so don't mind spending a couple of hundred on it. It will get done roughly though, it is just a work bike so no need for perfection. Happy days for now.
