Front disk brake mount
This is the front disk brake mount.
It fits on the bottom of the left-hand-side fork-leg. It is where the front brake caliper attaches.
It will not go on smoothly.
Twist the bike around so I can get a good look at it.
Yes, it looks like a really tight fit.
Give it a good shove, and nothing happens.
Time for a rubber mallet. And remember to take the bolts out completely as we don't want to go damaging any threads here.
A good whack and doesn't look like it moved by much, but it is on as far as it will go now.
Best have a beer whilst I contemplate what might be the problem here.
