Hello All
A quick question. I've had the front mudguard off to drop the forks to change the oil (as the wheel was already off for new rubber). On the LH rear mounting point the allen bolt also goes through the brake calliper mounting bracket. This doesn't nip up fully, although the bolt does tighten up / bottom out in the captive nut. This leaves the calliper bracket free to rotate, and I'm wondering if this is designed in to let the brake pipe/bracket move around a bit to avoid strain, or if it's just a coincidence that it's just this mounting point and it should fully nip everything tight. I have the right sized tap at the ready if it needs running through... Could anyone who either knows, or has an NTV to hand and can give the front mudguard calliper hose bracket a rotate, let me know please?
Cheers
