    I have just got mine from same guy in Italy, arrived within 48hrs. Do you know if the caliper needs drilling out before all the pistons will work, or is it already set up? Cannot get a reply from Italy that makes sense to me.

    Oh and the parcel that was delivered oop north?
    Turns out that had half my address on it and half a Hull address on it.
    The parcel was actually the correct one for the Hull address, they have no idea where mine went.....

    Good job really. I've been on the edge of my seat wondering when it will arrive and have only kept sane by reading about some odd rust remedy experiments going on in the slightly-more-insane-than-the-rest-of-this-place section of the forum.
