You confirmed receipt of, and that you were happy with the purchase: why would I keep old PM when the subject matter is concluded?
It's quite obvious whether a PM has a recipient or not.
The adjuster for fine tuning the centring? I didn't know that, didn't use it.
The cable anchor? I know it's corroded and so did you. Or didn't you look at the photos I published. Still entirely functional though.
This is what's stopping you finishing your build? Really?
Ordinarily I like trades to be concluded with both parties being genuinely happy: I don't work to "buyer beware" on the forum and would have flagged the issue with the adjuster, had I known of it (but not adjusted the price).
Ordinarily in a situation like this I would refund something as a show of good faith.
However, I'm more than a little pissed off with the way you've handled this: making me out to be a cunt, but covering your back with "apologies if..." is weak.
So I've donated £20 to the forum (on top of the 5% it got from the original sale): Centaur brakes go for £40-£50 a pair.
