UPDATE:
I found out what was wrong with my pod, someone had bent one of the pins, dunno why
bent it back into position and hey presto!.... a fully functional pod!
so I have all of my electrics working now, all brakes / levers fitted and fully functioning. The only things left are getting a better boot and a front wheel cover then it should look 100% complete
(if you don't look at the chassis coz its a bit bent)
