any one got a reliant handbrake mounting plate, [dont need the lever just the plate]

i *may* have one off a reliant fox...  mauled the fox for bits and the remaining chassis, interior and bodywork is sat outside my parents house doing nothing, will have a look tomorrow when i go rob the pedal box from it.  any other reliant bits you needing while im there?

cheers fella, dont need anything else. will post a photo asap to see if same one. thanks again.

no problem, will go and "extract" it later on this afternoon.

sorry didn't get photo done jonno, worked sunday, just got in battle cruiser for a pot bout 8 when phone rang to take 9 yr old to hospital with dodgy leg. just got back,1.45 am Monday. back there tomorrow, so on hold for a day or so. want it still, u manage to do the extraction.??

hi dobber,

i too have been met with hold-ups (n not the nice frilly ones wrapped around a womans legs either)

mainly work related so i will be going tomorrow (tuesday) on my day off to get some bits. i also need a couple of bits off it for my trike so tomorrow evening i shall post a pic and if all is ok if you pm me your address i shall get it posted down to you.

cheers m8

hi, did you manage to get the mount off?. will send my email address in pm so you could send a money request for postage costs etc  if OK

hi dobber, still working on the reliant, had a bitch of a job getting the pedal box out, same with the handbrake, but all is good. i used the grinder so im going to work on teh bolts and get rid of all the scrap bits of fibreglass.  yeah pm me your address and ill get it sent to you.

cheers

Jonno

jonno, recall i cut  mine out of fiberglass when scrapped reliant, was lot easier to free bolts etc on bench then.  will pm address now and email so can send paypal Jobie. thanks, much appreciated

any joy with mounting plate jonno.

now then mate, will be sending it to you on tues i hope. local post office is closed for refurbishment n the next nearest one is 42 miles away, re-opening tuesday morning so will have it sent off to you then.  its cleaned up nicely.
sorry its takin so long mate. everything moves at a snails pace up here.

Jonno

The Post Office has cleaned up nicely?

thanks again.

hi, jonno, mount not turned up yet,[tues 29]. did they give an estimated date, cheers.........

still looking for a handbrake mount if anyone has one for sale or to get rid of.

ay up dobber,try this bloke,he brakes reliants and has zillions of spares.     joe mason 07973470810 he,s in worcester.

Hi dobber, Are we talking about the piece of channel that the handbrake bolts to,
if so this could easily be made up using a piece of rectangular tube cut down.

got one sorted n fitted now. was that one hunter, easy to copy but even easier to buy... turned out bloody mate had one in his garden half hanging off a scrap pig. painted and fitted now.
tried that guy Trev but didn't answer phone, called me back later in day but was sorted. seems like he has everything tho. good contact.wanted 50 quid for two axel tubes n 15 delivery. a tad dear perhaps.

Glad your sorted mate.

even the postman ;) ::)

I used to be a plasterer's mate, (not his friend, his assistant), & started at the Post Office as a temporary measure to get me through a cold Winter when we couldn't plaster. Been there ever since.
