My theory is that if I work out where it's bent I can probably fix it with 'measured' violence.

I was using BBB RollerBoys replacement pulleys with shim washers to make them exactly the same width as the original SunTour pulleys.

In that photo I've nicked them and moved them to the Mk1.
So the Mk2 vs Mk1 alignment test was done with the same (RolleyBoys) pulleys.
In the photo above I've reinstated original SunTour pulleys.

Tomorrow I'll try a better photo with the camera the exact same distance from the wheel as the pulleys are.
I'll also take the cage off and check it's flat - I can also photo the cage with the shaft (#19) installed but no RD body.
