Brake caliper bolts: I know someone who can make them

Post by BobPickett »

Hi All,

I needed new bolts for the Sport's calipers. The parts aren't listed, so Mdina struggled. Luckily, I'd been put in touch with Dave Hopwood at Hoppybikes (http://www.hoppybikes.co.uk/frame.htm), who is sorting the front end and electrics for me.

Dave has his own forge, so he's made bolt blanks.

If you're looking for new caliper bolts, it's worth giving Dave a shout. Don't know what he'll charge, but has to be worth an ask.

Hope this is useful,

Cheers,

Bob

To show the standard of Dave's work, I've added here brake and gear pedals he hand-tooled for me. Brake pedal smaller so the kickstart pedal can clear.

I'll add a further post with bolt pix when I can.
