Thanks Jim ,
Saw them last night ..thought Someone may have been interested in a swap ..I have a lot of hard to find pieces .
I need a set to have re-lined as My own are worn & I need a set for M.O.T .
Would have thought there would be tons about ?
Best Wishes,
Steve ..

 I've got a few but post and time would kill it. Any brake & clutch place should be able to do yours.

 You need to find an old fashioned shop that does it instore.
I remember going into a local (within 50 miles) B&C shop and asking the young assistant to put some sticky linings on mine and told him it was for a racing BSA. The old fella sitting in the office just about tripped over getting to the counter. He went out the back and I could hear him rummaging through boxes. He came out with a smile and said "this is what you need sonney". Full blown asbestos with woven copper wire.. He had them done by the time I had two beers. Good old fashioned service. That was 20 years ago, I'd say he's racing clouds now.

 Sorry Steve I misunderstood, thought you had a set that needed a reline. I can send you a pair but would take about 3 weeks to get there.
