Hi Jez! I will send you a link to a fellah in Germany tomorrow when I dig it out, I managed to get a full new rebuild kit for a standard xs 250 rear calliper last year which included a stainless piston for about forty quid [all he deals in is either new or good quality pattern hard to find Yam spares] the only problem is his English is about as good as my German but we did it with photos attached to emails. I have put a friend request in as it would appear we have mutual friends in Pooney and Weeksie? . I also was on the tents for a short while, and although we did not work at the same time, I think we had lunch together near the market hall in Harrogate with Nige Bolton in late 94. I really like your Xs by the way, but sorry to read you were not happy with the colour scheme, is it Julian at Streetbeats work? he has just done my frame and oil tank and rear guard? More later Jock [Yellow Flamed Shovel chop]
