yeah that area of the cellar has a low roof stand up with a hooked neck ....lol..... but just perfect enough for me to work on the bike and the best bit is the boiler is in that room so its allways nice and warm .....once i get the rear seat frame mocked up i will paint the rear at work
problem is at work ....i can only do a few hours a week .......at home ive got alot more hours to play ....and if parts need painting or modifying i will take them to work and do them

ok ive got the rear wheel and spindle in
have cut down the spacers....all ok
have to say its bloody tight
not really happy about the calliper bracket .....problem is its damm close to the disc and cant get the calliper onto the bracket as it wont fit between the bracket and the disc .....the bracket sits slightly pissed to the rear arm and it shows looking at the gap difference by the disc............is it a case of grind more out of the rear arm or am i missing anything here .....any help would be appreciated

Mark, your going to need to cut shave & grind it to fit. on both sides of the bracket
& inside the swinger arm too.
The block/stud that the bracket rest on, will need to be cut down too.
Will likely take several trial fitments to get it to work.
Be careful not to cut to much @ once(sure you know that already)
Have you had the caliper mounted yet?

Your work space does look tight, the hell we go through for our bikes.
Hey @ least your out of the weather. I do all my work on the damn car-port.
Two nights ago I was out late with drop lights putting my new front tire on.
