Peter, as my engineer is now having to buy further parts to complete the restoration could you give me a copy of receipts for parts you purchased for the project.

What parts does he say need buying.
19 June From Chris Racki
Up to now, he has bought
Fork cap bolts x2
Stainless port plugs.
Choke & Tach Cables.
NRP carbs rebuild kit
X 4.
M6 x 65 cap screws.
Engine cap screw kit.
Cap nut M6 stainless.
HEL brake line kit.
I have also supplied him with:
Throttle tube
Brake master cylinder
assembly.
I do not expect you to pay for these as they are all new parts, but you should have fitted them to complete the restoration that he is having to do now. From your earlier reply I note that you did not check the inside of the tank before fitting it or do anything to the carbs.
The bill I will be expecting you to cover is for the labour to put this bike in the condition that you were asked to put it in in the first place.
I also think that your failure to give the bike a test ride is incredible, after all, I rode it for only 12 miles to discover that it wasnât running properly.
The fact that the front brake seized on in this time, something you say you noticed there was a problem with when you turned the steering, and the fact that the rear brake hadnât been adjusted, with the adjusting nut at the end of the rod, and the headstock pinchbolt only being 2 threads into the nut made my engineer wonder about the validity of the mot, as he thought these three things alone should mean a failure.
