@bummeln
Thanks, for your help guys.
@Skully, yes I might have to admit defeat soon! I've been working on this bike project for a long while though and have tried to do everything myself - so I am reluctant to cave in at this last hurdle. Yes the "spring thing" looks like a neat soltuion. The thing that left me uncertain was that the kit didn't contain any form of attachment to the chainstay bridge, I assume this is because there are so many variations though. I think I get you on the bending it to fit, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I think eyelet threads are 5mm (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/taps.html) I'll try and look into getting some taps for this if I can't borrow any. Hopefully there shouldn't be too much tapping to do, there's just some powder coat around the ends.
@diable - Thanks I'll check screwfix
