| Good going Frank, I've lost count of the amount of brake conversions I have done. Never used only half a calliper before to do it, I usually use a complete one and sit it over the disc with a bit of suitable wire to give clearance. Then the carboard templates get made, followed by thin (about 2mm) aluminium sheet ones as these are easy to make with the guillotine at work along with the pillar drill and they are strong enough to be able to mount the calliper using nuts bolts and loads of washers as spacers. If all's well then the alloy plate gets marked up, cut in the bandsaw, cleaned up in the mill then holes drilled and if necessary taped to size.
when finished there is a nice feeling of achievement |
