As said above, under on my spondon yokes, You might need a couple of small spacers under the Barrel/lock mechanism if you want the lock working on the Key. IMG_2868 by mark morgan, on Flickr Pm sent ๐

Ah, ok Have you got the brace to fit inside the mudguard ? The Rg125 brace fits - may be a cheaper alternative second hand if you need one, but only has one loop for a brake line as the 125 is a single disc. Dusty Dusty I didnโt know it had a brace ? Better get looking for one โ๏ธ thanks for that , never got involved with Rgv stuff before

Looking good Pete Why not contact Andy - Spondon440 - through the forum and send them to him for drilling and tapping ? If you are really concerned about doing it yourself, I'm sure Andy would do it for you. The twin horns are very much part of the Lc's DNA, definitely worth replicating on the new bottom yoke. Dusty I think thatโs what Iโm going too do dusty ๐ On a different Note mate Iโm sure you done a rgv / metmachex if so mate can you use standard spacers As Iโve got rear wheel with no spacers ?

As long as you have a pillar drill and some taps you should be fine, measure then measure again, matts no good doesnโt know one end of a 4lo from the other.๐ Looking forward to this and having built a hybrid over 10 yrs ago I really wish I had bought a metmachex rather than using the rgv arm and dustys builds proved this for me they look so good without changing the geometry too much. Veg I know what you mean with this I thought long & hard but in the end bit the bullet & went metmachex as I loved the look of it on my lc before I stripped it . Just donโt want too drill it wrong & make a mess of it ๐ค
