No it's just one of them isn't tightened up. Think I was checking the size against the caliper bolts to make sure which was which.

Bit of an update:

Haven't had much time recently, things on my mind also but I had today off so I've been continuing with the belly pan for the bike.

I made the 2 sides from the mould I made earlier:



After scouring the internet & egay for bumper mesh none of it seemed to be very cheap so I got 3 disposable BBQs for 6 quid & used the mesh out of them:



After trimming the mesh to the width I needed I bonded it to 1 side first:



After bonding the second side on I flipped it over & laid matting/resin on the underside to make the floor:




Cut some more mesh to fit in the front & laid a couple of layers:




It looks a bit of a mess but once I've trimmed it all up & filled & shaped it smooth it'll be ready for taking a mould from it. I need to add a couple of bits at the back as well. I received a new battery the other day so I now have power, although the indicators & horn don't work & the bulbs in the rev counter have blown, I'm hoping it's just a fuse. :up:





The brake lights stay on for the mo as I think I need to adjust the rear brake light switch.
