Thank you Jay for those photos. I have since greased the rear one while having the left diagonal threaded strut replaced. I have replaced it with 3/8 unf fine threaded rod. I think it must have snapped as a result of a collision I had last year with a rock. How crucial is the tension in this strut and should I get an original strut?
I do like your hat and goggles. It is far too hot for too much clothing Etc on in the North of NZ at the moment. May have to fit a sun shade even.
