Those Dunlops sound like a great deal for someone needing roadworthy tyres. Shame I'm not closer to Hereford, or I'd have grabbed them myself.

Hi
I've still got the tyres as posted. Can you let me know where you are and I might be able to find a way of getting them to you if you want them.

Hi Tony

At last it's free! So, many thanks for you advice.

Best wishes, Adrian

Hi Tony An update. I took a large hammer and a drift and attacked the offending item with renewed vigour. It has moved about 1/4" and I can now rotate the Sliding rod about 30 degrees.
