Werd up Olly - mine *seem* ok - I've slapped a 990 on and offered up a wheel + tyre and they're in the right place.

Thing is though, until I finish building and ride the bugger I won't know as S&M were notorious for bad lug placement. Could turn out (as I've had before) that the brakes'll squeal like fookers 'cos one brake arms further back than the other  ;D

Bane of my life that S&M-lug-placement. Some shabby work at times. George used to cut them off and put them back on reyt for us. Dirtbikes, HAFs, they were consistently wank.

Never mind lug placement, they can't even drill a hole in the right place. On my challenger the wishbone brake hole means you have to run the blocks slammed with the wheel in the middle of the dropout? If you mount the brake on the chain stays, even with the wheel slammed the blocks can't reach the rim...   :idiot2:

It ain't only S&M - first DK General Lee I got from Hot Wheels in '97, built it up and the last thing I tried to put on was the rear 990. Turns out that there wasn't any threaded holes (or holes in general - bah-doof!) in the lugs, just solid metal  :LolLolLolLol:

B&E - good at making frames but well shit at lugs.

Which makes me wonder, was some of the early stuff gigged up for a 994 style brake, there's a 94 Holmes on fb at the min with the same height lugs as mine...

If you going to chop the nose off a GT seat, you may as well do it properly, and deface one of the rarer colours.  :LolLolLolLol:  :daumenhoch:

I would normally cry, but Im about to do the same thing.  :LolLolLolLol:
