Angle of the photo - the background is front wheel ramp clamp?
SPR:
That does look well ...... I've had a spare swing arm done and it had to be gloss to match the rest but much prefer the slightly less gloss finish

A little more progress this afternoon - rear swing arm Brass bushes fitted plus shocker mount bushes - a couple of days in the freezer made the first 75% of the fitting easy - then use alloy drift tool and a big rubber hammer they fitted far too easily.
Spent a good 30 minutes looking for the rear brake pivot that I finally found in a takeaway box with rear brake pivot written on it. Work has ground to a standstill now until I find the return spring that was not in the box.
DS say its discontinued so another day for that search party - I have a feeling I put it somewhere too safe to find easily - keeps me fit I guess looking in the same places as before several times over.
Run out of beer so having to drink some Pineapple & Passion Fruit Cider (4%) to make do for tonight.

Is it on the brake rod? That's where I usually put it.
Enjoy your cider, I'll have one too! 🍻

No - I am looking for a circular spring I take it 46514-323-020 I assume - found the pedal & the rod definitely a job for another day I must have looked in three shelves of boxes plus umpteen big boxes on the floor four times over - at least as you progress it gets easier with fewer parts to look through..
