Title: Reliant Axle Tube replacement Post by: Barry on August 12, 2013, 08:27:39 AM Hi all, in the process of converting my Gl1100 plain jane that I bought new in 1982 into a trike. I live in Hereford and have an offset Reliant axle but one of the tubes is bent quite a bit. Does anyone know of a place that will replace these tubes, hopefully with slightly thicker walls. I've heard talk of 'CDS tubing being used but this project is a bit too specialist for me. I've searched the Forums with no luck apart from some people saying they've done their own.
Thanks Barry Title: Re: Reliant Axle Tube replacement Post by: jevi on August 12, 2013, 12:30:49 PM Try getting in touch with Haggis on this forum (and Brit chopper) he can probably make you up a set

Also got a breather bolt from a regal axle which I shall fit to the diff as there is no trace whatsoever of the breather hole in either axle tube.
