SS stand has sheared in two where the metal bracket sits on the spring side, one of the brackets is also out of shape, only had it 3 months so not happy.. :cry: Need to get a replacment, but this time chromed steel with holes pre-drilled for the rubbers plus a fixing kit. Anyone reccomend a decent one at a reasoanable price?

Also had to use an impact hammer when tightening the screws on my Sccotsrs master-cylinder. Next time i have to take it off i wont be able to re-use them so need to have some ready for when i do. Also the banjo bolt that goes into the caliper is burred so need a replacement one of those as well. Can i use non Scootrs banjo bolts & screws and if so, anyone again reccomend somewhere.

Sef, none of that sounds good. :( All I can advise is that ScootRS banjo bolts are crap. You can get decent replacements from any decent motorbike shop that makes up brake lines. I se Aerotek or HEL. I think they are M10 with a 1.25 pitch, but don't quote me.

PS I wouldn't use an impact hammer to tighten anything. Do you mean the screws that secure the reservoir cover or the ones that secure the unit to the bars. :?

Unfortuantly its the screws on the reservoir... :cry: didnt have any choice as there were already burred over and i couldnt get them tight eneough with a screwdriver so out with the big boy... :D The screws that came with kit are like chocolate and next to useless as you have really tighten the ones on the resoervoir.
