LOL No Micky I did not stub my toe. I knew I should have cropped that photo. :oops: and

Guyzed, Not Dec yet! I have been chasing parts for 11 months.

New brakelines arrived today. Funny I can get parts from the UK and US cheaper than buying them in Aust even after paying expensive postage works out about 25% cheaper.
Stay upright and enjoy the ride.
