Scumbags in Hastings

<< < (3/4) > >>

matthewmosse:
Is there enough near the surface to blob some weld on there to get something to grip on? I hate easy outs, I can think of few if any occasions they have ever worked, if somit is loose enough for them to take effect it genrally comes out at the drilling stage. Spark erosion definately carries lowest risk of futher thread dammage.

UKROBK7:
Put a nut over it and weld the nut to the easyout (try a repair shop or SMALL garage if  you haven't a welder).  You might be able to turn the lot out using the nut.

Waggles:
On a slightly different tack this is a good reason for security marking your bikes parts. Whilst it wont actually stop a determined thief some may be deterred by it and you may stand a chance of getting your bits back if they are found or you suspect where they may have gone ( seeing them on e-bay for example ) I got an 'invisible' dna marker set free from Carole Nash insurers, am sure you can get them elsewhere, the fluid contains microscopic discs that flouresce under UV and are coded to your reg no. I shall be marking my brake parts too this weekend!  Anything we can do to ruin a scumbags day is a good thing.

I must admit I had in mind more that the bike might be stolen and broken for spares, hadn't thought the b*****s would just strip off parts at the roadside or wherever

florence:
I know it is not the correct way but until you can afford a better solution you could get a combined banjo bolt/bleed nipple.  I have one on mine and it works very well and seems easier to bleed the brakes.

Robbo:
Having grown up in Hastings I feel for you! Whenever I go back on my bike I lock it up out of sight.
I might have a spare F2 calliper, I'll have a look later on - if it fits and it's not f@@ked you can have it
