there\'s a place somewhere in the UK that does recon calipers for about £50 each.... the name escapes me at the moment... I\'ll try and dig it out

I think paid £40ish for a rear one from rxmotors. Do you need front or back?

I bought repair kits from here but haven\'t used them yet - perhaps might be needed for Goldie

No worries mate, I dont need one, like you say it was cheap.
Well worth having on a shelf in your rotorshed.
Good to hear you got fixed up with an electric aerial.

workshop manual says drop the rear light out and that\'s how I\'ve always done it too ( even before I\'d read the manual!)

It can be done either way it\'s just by taking out th rear light unit you have gretaer access for removal/installation and also ease for attaching to the support bracket.  For the sake of a few minutes to remove the light unit, saves taking out bad temper or frustration on the household pet (\'er indoors) :rollin
