'Just not pretty' is not how I'd describe it. 'Cheap, shoddy construction' is more like it.

I usually don't car how parts look, I care about how well they work. But you can look at that and see how poor the seams and welds are on that. It just looks like it's been manufactured as cheap as possible - not something I'd want to use for my brakes.

Are the push rods the same length as your original one. I reckon they have shorten them by 6mm. Havnt got an old one to check against at my end. Ta Bernard

I had to buy a new tin clutch MC for my 850 and I think I got it thru Minispares in the UK. It wasn't quite as nicely made as the originals (the seams were a bit thicker etc), but it was good quality - certainly looks an awful lot better than the one in your picture. That looks like a knock-off or a bad second... I would be sending it back mate...
