Hamstring injuries are a real pain (Hah!). I hope Mrs H has a quick and successful recovery.

Thank you, Rob.

It has been very troublesome, turns out she didn't get the follow-up treatment it needed/should have had at the time, we have now raided the piggybank to pay for private physiotherapy (a very skilled lady who deals with the TT riders). This is now finally sorting it out, but it would have been much quicker if etc etc. And here's me an at-one-time NHS Outpatients manager. #sigh. :roll: :?

Space spacer ordered to play about with - more next week!

'Holding' post!

I have a spare spacer now and will be machining a metric smidge (1mm should do it, but a touch more is a possibility, it's hard to measure in the depths of the caliper) off it tomorrow, and have taken the opportunity to overhaul the caliper whilst it is apart, only to find the packet of seals and dust seals doesn't have the caliper half O ring in it - must have used it for something. So I await a replacement to arrive, hopefully early next week but post is weather dependent here, as it comes by ferry now not air, and the boats are often off at this time of year.

More next week!
