Yep. It did indeed start in 2011. More than patience, it's been about the depth of my pockets which is tiny!!! Also lots of mistakes ( lessons learnt ) but finally there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. I'm more than prepared to be wrong but I'm really hoping that it'll run before the year is out.

Nice looking pipe (who made it?) but that rod for the rear brake lever is totally wrong.
 
NRP exhausts in Notts. Nice chap and VERY cheap. Not sure if it's going to pass noise tests for classic track days but he reckons it shouldn't be too far off so it has a removable db killer as well. Get lots of comments about the brake rod but frankly unless someone can come up with a tidier solution it will have to do, it's 7mm steel rod so should be strong enough, and more importantly, it works!!

Why not have a spacer (same diameter as the top radius of the lever arm) on the inside of the brake lever so the rod can be straight?  Rod looks gash and can't last unless you never use your rear brake.
 
I had the same problem to solve on mine. But sort of going the other way.
I used a spacer with a through bolt to the original pivot system.
Works fine.

 
Yeah, that sort of thing- not ideal, but better than a bent rod eh?  On Padlock's setup it looks like you could have a piece filling in where the rose joint end is now which might make the whole thing a bit stronger too.  And 7mm for a rod seems a bit weedy...
 
yes, that is coool  8)

rod: perhaps a mixture of both suggestions?
