At that point I called into a pub and got some cable ties to try and bodge it for the next mile home but they were too big to go through the holes so ended up taking the left caliper off and cable tying it to the out side of the wheel / fork and rode home about 10-15 mph.
Got to give it all the once over tomorrow then off to Fowlers in the morning to get the bolt(s) needed then off to JHS to see what they say

Thats never good!!! Never heard anything bad about JHS before so this is a first. Give them a good check when you get it home the second time and re-torque them. 39nM
