Matt, you and I were talking about this on the pm earlier bud.Andy (58delray) and I are always posting stuff up and down the country to each other so if we send this recorded between us and then back to you, could we borrow it It would be really appreciated as my brother has a set of forks that need too many washers on to tighten down so a few new threads at the bottom on the steerer would be ideal.Let me know if we could borrow this and we'll get it back to you asap mate - deffo send it to Andy first though as he needs it sooner than my bro Spen
no probs guys. Andy, pm me your address and il try and get it posted to you, then you can send it on to spen afterwards
no probs, always a complete tool down this end
