You did well on the chainstay for £15 - wish I could have found one for my 99 Elite at that price!
The adapter is the A2Z one like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A2Z-Mountain-...ikeparts_SR&hash=item483a7bb521#ht_1085wt_976
Hadn't realised that they sold at £25 these days.
Mine has been fitted - so have some marks - but perfectly servicable.
£15 for the seatstay - £15 for the A2Z as well?
£30 Paypal gift - posted - ok?

£30 sounds good.
but firstly..do the A2Z adapters fit the frame ok? i'm sure ive read somewhere that there can be a problem when fitting them to these frames as each linkage bar on the rear end on the FSR's moves & the adapter has to be fixed? does that make sense?
although,the guy who built up this fsr has used the A2Z in a pretty creative way...

I did say in one of my earlier posts - that the A2Z was not recommended.
My A2Z came off a '98 FSR with a broken seatstay.
But then you see threads like the one saw - which I've read too. He's used the later spec stay - like the one I've got.
It's your call - it's not recommended - but people have.[/url]

alright mate.
i do plan to use the bike in anger,so i think it'd be better to have the rear brake disc fitted properly as i dont wanna take any more risks than usual!
i know a clever engineer,so using the old seat & chain stay i'm sure he could dream up & 'mill/drill/fabricate' something that would safely accomodate a disc calliper?? it will be interesting to try anyway!
so i'll just take the stay off you if thats ok?
will get PP done tomorrow & i'll pm you when ive done it.
thanks again for your help!
