bit of a pain but you could use a mini ?slave cylinder powered by your front lever to push the master cylinder witch the brakes are linked to.

Hi Bry' -welcome to the Land of Mank. As you've probably guessed, the disc conversion crops up quite regularly When I first came up with it, I literally threw together the components I had to hand at the time & it seemed to work. I didn't put a lot of thought into the mathematics or engineering behind it. It got a lot of attention at shows, so I wrote a quick article for 100% Biker magazine -& the rest, as they say, is history. Now there's several guys selling the caliper mounting plates on Ebay & at least one company, (Edinburgh Trike Services), selling a complete disc conversion kit, based on my shed-built design. If I remember right, the usual answer here is that one set of caliper carriers are straight & the other are dog-legged. As you'll discover though, my poor memory's legendary & I honestly can't remember which model are the right ones. I use a standard 5/8" Girling car master cylinder by the way.
