Will you please fit the correct rear axle with the modified equaliser lever for the rear brakes, also the step up lever fitted in the crank case to give more front braking. This will bring the brakes up to the production leverages. The warning light in the petrol gauge is not working correctly and is erratic. Will you please examine and rectify.
