Difficult to find so I will wait to see what turns up, I would be interested in your caliper let me know if its tokico 1 or 2 and how much you want,
It gives me great pleasure to photo every step of the restoration , and makes ne very happy that people enjoy looking

Don't agree on the Vietnam front fender Pete. I bought one unchromed and showed it to ChrisR and he said he would happily fit one to one of his bikes, so his endorsement was good enough for me. But you have to hassle 'Eric' that you want a good one and to take extra care. Those Yamiya ones are just a plain ripoff. Maybe it's because Eric thought I was a 'female' Ashley :-[ until Kerry on the SOOC put him right.

Hi Pete.
I've been out in my garage to see the brake caliper I was talking about but unfortunately it is a Tokico 8 I have not so good for your Sandcast.
I will check up with a few friends if they have a Tokico 1 or 2
Regards
Tony

Will do it over weekend. Mine is not chromed yet. If polished I was quoted 35 GBP to chrome it by Quality Chrome in Hull as there should be no prep work. I only wanted the blade undrilled but he sent me the lot. He hand makes them but told me he also has a press tool but it belongs to his Japanese customer who won't let him press them for a third party. Have not spoken to him since 2011 so will send him an email.
Cheers ..Ash
