Ok, guys an update, and it's not too good for me!

With the mounting bracket on the bench I decided to give it a good clean, only to discover that one of the calliper mounting holes, the rear one that does not hold the torque arm, has been helicoiled and not very well done at that!, so for some reason, something definitely has been messed about with in the past.

I have helicoil kits in the garage but because it's the mounting for the rear brake calliper I am reluctant to redo it. I have looked for the bracket online and they are not cheap but it looks a though I may need to bite the bullet and get one.

"C'est la vie" as they say or in my case "Bollocks, don't need this just now!"
