After a load of prep to clean the threads I mixed up the epoxy and applied it to both threads and then installed the mech. Tidied up the epoxy from the back of the stud too. Hopefully this should do the trick!
I can't really do much with the bike now for 12 hours so on to stripping the callipers! A job that I have been putting off. I hate side pull breaks (man that epoxy stinks!!!!) they hardly ever pull equally on both sides which is a real pain. Once the bike is set up I think I will replace them for dual Pivot brakes.
Also, in the short term I'm going to put a spot of black smooth Hammerite onto the rust areas At least then If I decide to respray it I can sand and maybe use a spot of filler here and there if I need to. I won't have to worry about rust anyway!
Nice Rubina tyres came today Syrinx V80 :)
