Front Wheel/ Brake binding?
Bryanj:
People have been known to drill and tap the pivot arm and fit a grease nipple

It is quite a vulnerable location, so im surprised this isn't observed more often.

Good Idea Martin, Is this service schedule something that you could share?
Martin6:
Happy to. Is there a way to upload an Excel spreadsheet on here?
P.s. just noticed under my forum name it now says 'SOHC Expert'. Nice, but would fail the Trade Descriptions Act :)

Also thanks to the OP @ColinHH. I did a test ride this morning and the brakes no longer bind or squeal. The pivot pin was my issue. Front brakes still lack any feel or real punch though!

These are 50years old almost 1st generation disc brakes, good in the day,not as good as modern units,
They should improve after about 1,000miles usage, when the pads bed in
When you ride it ,and you're cruising along, lightly apply the brake, it will help it bed in
