James,
I got a lovely new old stock brake pedal from Ken (Oddjob) and as he says, he has one left!  What's the famous come-on in almost every advert? 'Hurry, while stocks last'. If funds won't stretch that far, I have the one I replaced it with.  PM me if needed.  I should be meeting up with my Hull mate in the Highlands soon (assuming fuel available and no lockdowns - grrrrr!!!) and he will be going back home to Hull later - easy courier if needed.  I don't have a kickstart but I do have a few US spec indicator bodies and lenses - all used, some good.

Ian

I will send you a message once I have investigated closer. I have ordered a cb550F kick start lever which looks to sit out longer. I will see if this changes anything first
