Hi Alan,
              When I did the SB15 it seemed to be ok for quite a while, 
but over the last few months the movement started to increase. possible 
still within tolerance, but worrying :-( . Pat came down three weeks ago 
and took the tube away to get it machined. he returned this Saturday 
morning and fitted it. There is absolutely no movement, a great fit. My 
inspector came down this morning and signed it off, very impressed.
Pat's a nice chap, just charged for fuel. highly recommended.

All the best Danny.

I am pleased you are fitting them, as this is an area which has always bothered
me. I think you have spent you money wisely.

am confident he did a good job of loctiting the tube first time, as he could
not separate the parts due to old Loctite, he cleaned with fluid and re Loctite
the joints, which have been ok over the passed few years.
