I have managed to get a few jobs done again, first it was time to reassemble the front brake caliper with new seals, pads, etc. Seal, piston and dust seal retainer ring fitted.

Then the carrier and bolts... And dust seal and pads to finish.

Caliper was then ready to fit............BUT in the meantime ironically just after answering a PM about fork leg restoration and saying touch wood etc all is fine, it wasn't.   The dreaded white worms had just started to return again (oh well I did try twice) and though i hate to give up i have to admit defeat for now ............so Paint stripper out and polish those legs.......
