I too will be buying a set for lazarus, and have noticed Silvers lists 2 options, a bare set and one including the brackets, gaskets and rubber connectors for only £45 +vat so good value if you need the full lot. Assuming the exhausts are the same of course.

the problem with the lining process is flash rusting before I can dry the tank out to line it. will try today.

While de-rusting the tank it revealed several more small holes around the reinforcing area where the rear tank mounting is. I have soldered them but still getting a small leak from somewhere inaccessible so am going to use a liner. Not ideal but it's my only option.

A couple of small victories today. The brake bleeding saga was solved by a new repro from silvers, still took a while but bled in the conventional way and a firm lever now. Also did a soldered repair on the tank, as the hole was only 2-3 mm it seems to be ok. De-rusting tank with phosphoric acid ready for paint, almost there!

Hi Julie, am feeling a bit better until my garage roofing felt went AWOL in the wind last night! It's the original pressure witch so hope that's not it.

Hi Bryan I did try that method but didn't seem to build up any pressure.

not much happening as I have been ill for a couple of weeks, but still struggling with the front brake bleeding. all new or refurbished, hoses rubber seals etc but just will not bleed. I have tried all the usual methods with syringes  but no luck so getting really frustrated, even dismantled master cylinder in case i did something wrong.

just noticed the heat must have been too much and the chainguard is now distorted. I may try reheating and try to straighten, ho hum.
