MX1000/900 quick release
wildon:
Right i got a Nippon here that i wanted to put a quick release on (i gotta get the mx's refinished first)
I got the snap rivet tool from ebay and the bits from porkchop.
I got the hammer out and lined the rivet snap on top of the rivet that i placed through the hole in the caliper and gave it a few smacks...
FOOKIN FORGET IT!!!! ... no chance are you going to set that rivet with the tool and hammer .. it aint happening.
So i have a friend that for some reason has a large industrial press so i go over there today and give it a go ... worked a treat! But tbh i think the snap tool could do with being smaller as before the rivet head was roled all the way over the tool made an impression on the washer... so i have ordered the 1/8" size from ebay today and will try that.
However ... the quick release is now on, working perfectly and is going nowhere...
If i can perfect this with the new tool and anyone needs it done i can go use the press anytime i want :daumenhoch:

Glad this is a pretty straight forward procedure
and that all those potts modded MX1000's out there can be refurbed back to original :daumenhoch:
Goods skills Terry ;)
