Suspend belief

With the arrival of the IVA covers,  I was finally able to finish off the nearside front suspension:

I was all prepared to bolt the calipers on but,  shock,  horror,  I haven't got the right bolts!

I wanted to put a cable tie over the clutch cable end,  to help keep it in the slot on the clutch arm. This is not absolutely required but seemed a simple job - until,  of course,  I went and bolted a bloody great sheet of metal underneath the bellhousing,  obscuring the clutch lever! I spent 30 minutes  trying to get my clodhopper arms down to the cable but couldn't manage it - will try with my sons help at the weekend,  maybe.
