Haven't done yet, but I'll go see Mr SaddleBags in the next few days. It'll be literally a couple of months before he can do them though.

CAD file is now available for the plates here.. And a huge thanks to Valleysboy who is also hosting it so that it can be downloaded direct from him. Thank you Gareth. (The picture here will not print 1 to 1 scale but the CAD file does, its for viewing only.) For those that dont know.... download the file Right click on it and select `extract here` or to your chosen folder double click the new icon that appears, the file can then be viewed and printed. To print.... select the print icon on the top toolbar a new box opens, bottom left, select Active sheet AND to scale (1 to 1). select ok file will now print in black and white to scale.

Cannot do it yet, to retain a scale print it has to stay as a CAD file, it can be converted to other image types but looses the scale, hence the .jpg wont print correctly

Thanks tbone and Valleysboy. We do not have CAD on our computers so it's not something that we can do.

Well nearly, the pic Tazet posted is of the MK2 version. These are made from 10mm aluminuim with a 3mm recess machined over the mounting holes and have a different profile were the caliper carrier bolts on. My CAD drawing is for the original brackets, made from 1/4" flat steel plate. Size wise, they are the same so would be able to use on either material but you`d have to mark the recess yourselves if going down the ali (or should that be alley) route. Give this a go for the MK2 version...

Thanks for that guys. Yeah, the top of the plates SaddleBags machined for us is slightly curved to allow clearance for other models of calipers -Passat ones fit for example & we've found the Golf ones vary from year to year but the mounting holes stay the same. Some have larger diameter pistons than others, hence the curved section. Obviously you need to check your own particular calipers against the drawing before cutting.

Evening , a couple of quick questions ....... but 1st ..... Reliant Disc brake conversion Printed off Tbone's template and stuck it on a bit of ply , not got the calipers and brackets yet but the 4 x 8mm holes line up spot on .. ( thats the plate that was on the backplate ). Now for the question ... How big should the whole in the middle be ? Reliant Disc brake conversion 1) just big enough to let the shoulder on the hub through ? , ( does the hub go all the way through to the bearing ? ) 2) the same size as the plate that was on the backplate ( its smaller than the 47mm marked on the template , and the hub goes through about an inch ) . 3) same size as the backplate which seems to be bigger than the template and the plate .. ? or 4) stick to the template and stop asking silly questions ... sorry if this has been brought up before .. cheers .. Hagar

Hiya mate, Yeah that is the question. there are 3 of Andys diagrams scattered around this site somewere, 2 of them show that centre hole marked at 47mm and the 3rd marked at 40mm. I opted for the 47mm as that was the more common of the two sizes. In reality it doesnt matter as long as the hole is large enough to slip over the shaft and allow the hub to sit back through it but small enough to keep the bearing in place. Can you do me a favour tho n let me know the diameter in your option no.2 please I hope your taking loads of pics like we discussed

What he said. Reliant used both Metric & Imperial bearings & at least 2 different diameters of drive shafts. 47mm seems to work with everything, but obviously, just use a little common sense & go with whatever your particular axle uses. The centre hole only has to be big enough for the hub to sit in without fouling but small enough to retain the bearing. Definitely not rocket science!

Evening , the hole size of option 2 is approx. 42mm ( I think the cat has eat me calipers so I'm down to a steel rule ) , the shoulder on the hub (1) is about 7mm .. so in theory if I give it a couple of mm clearance on the diameter of the shoulder (34ish mm ) that should do it , just a thought does the bearing get hot ? and would the larger hole on the original backplate allow (a minute amount of ) cooling ? , or am I just making this too complicated cheers .. Hagar

Evening , not sure the old backplate was holding much in ... you can see the whole rubber surround through the plate .... Reliant Disc brake conversion cheers .. Hagar

I think you`ll find the larger hole on the backplate is to allow it to fit various vehicle axles. The older vehicles generally used one of two systems, Lockheed or as in this case Girling. You`ll find that a lot of the brake parts are interchangable as long as you stick with the same manufacturer, E.G 3 different wheel cylinders would all be made from the same casting but would differ only on the bore size.Something like the backplate doesnt locate on its centre hole, but the four mounting holes, so it makes sense to produce one plate with a centre hole diameter large enough to cover different applications. As for the bearing getting hot, its job is to centre the halfshaft within the casing and allow it to turn freely, obviously as with all friction, there is heat generated but nowt worth worrying about. Are you gonna do a write up on the boat too?
