Only that I have the bearings for both main and nose wheels, have the bushes for the actuator cams, I ordered some brake shoes for the front of a pre 2000 posty bike, see if they fit (might actually be rear shoes needed, not sure yet).

The centre locating bush for the brake plate between axel and alloy is just 19mm copper tube cut the right length and split so it fits in the bore and closes loosely around the axel.Will let you know when I get it all together
