Thanks for that Mate Will have to see how we go been out on it a few times and it,s getting less scary each time It is a bought thumb brake off a friend of mine he normally sells them for about 300 quid but he did me a real good deal. Have to agree with what you say about track days First ever race F$$cking scared me to deathe on the site ing lap
