Meccano set . . .

 As I said when Hodgey was assembling Shorty's ride, once you start mucking around with different parts, you end up with a shit load trouble. The new rear wheel on this one is that wide that there is no way in hell that the original braking system will fit. Hodgey is seen here pulling out the 'big toys' to cut and fabricate a new mount for a in-house modified set of braking calipers . . .
 New brakes in place and they look as if they grew there. Another one-off fix from the boys and now the bike can get back on the road with a rear tyre that wouldn't look out of place on a car.
While Hodgey has been busy on one side with the new braking system, Dylan Swagey has had the time to make up a new mount to house the brake light and number plate. Team effort for this bike . . .
