This one ? I made it.

Ah, yep that was the one, thought you'd found a supplier, did you modify the old one or is it based on something else?
Thanks

Yep, it's the old one with the cable drilled out then brazed into a long M8 nut and the rest of the thread filled with braze.
new hole drilled to take cable and two M6 threads tapped into side for a couple of grub screws.

Not exactly precision engineering but its cheap and it works

Sorry to drag this back up. do the brackets sandwich between the trailing arm and bearing carrier like the drum back plate ? In which case did you use a spacer because the new brackets only have 3 mounting points or am I reassembling it all wrong ?

[phillpot]

Bracket is on the front Mikel, so no spacer required and it's not very thick so, from memory, I think I used the same bolts

[mikel003003]

Not got it assembled just tinkering but if it sits on the front the caliper slider clashes with the hub.

The "slider" or caliper carrier does end up very close to the disc (as it should be) but knowhere near the hub


Looking at that old photo the carrier goes "this side" of the bracket with bolts coming through from "behind".

Hi All
I did a disc conversion using a set of Hubs that came off a Sierra that had rear discs on, I put them in the lathe and just machined all the hub assy of and the back locating flange, prefect fit , I only had to put a 1mm shim in before the disc, I think I gave them to Magpies as I wanted larger brakes. Easy fix and the hubs only cost £9.99 from ebay.

A couple of shots of the set up that Alan gave me.....cheap and easy

Looks good ! Why the reinforcement plate on the chassis ?

Roll bar mounting?

Roll cage mounting is correct. Fully MSA compliant .
