Nice SS rear brake stop made by Max!

(1/7) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Nice stainless steel brake part arrived yesterday  - yes the split pin hole is in the same place - nice bit of machining by amx1992.

Its even shinier in the flesh!

That looks ace Ted, Max can you sort me one out mine resembles the inside of a crunchy bar!

I'll drop you a Pm mate.....

Oddjob:
He also does the front torque arm bolt. Got both of mine yesterday.

Just thought of another part that would be great in stainless, the drive chain adjuster stoppers that go inside the swinging arm, mine are rusty as hell.

I've asked him for the lower engine bolt as well, already got one on mine and it looks great so maybe others could benefit as well.

Laverdaroo:
Think mine are all good and I had a pal turn me some adjuster screws last year in SS,  late on when I popped to his whilst ‘Oop Norf’.

I’ve pm’d Max re getting one.
All my engine bolts are stainless anyway Ken so all good for that thankfully

550F doesn't have the chain adjuster blocks Roo, only the 500 and 550K3 has them due to the 4 pipes and the need for the back wheel to come out backwards.

Don't forget the front bolt as well Roo. And the bottom engine bolt once I give him the specs.

I'm suggesting more stuff for Max to consider making, stuff I have found to be either hard to source now, like the rear torque arm bolt above, or is subject to rust due to location and the lack of attention it gets.

Max makes some really nice parts, lovely finish on them. Saves me polishing them further  ;D ;D

Ohhhh, just thought of another for Max, those special 7mm pinch bolts and shouldered nuts on the top yoke of the 550. The OE ones are chrome, which is nice but then the edges get a little nick and they rust on the very edges of the nut. The centre bolt being 8mm is easy to source in stainless.
