Disc Brakes and calipers

[klogan45]

Now I'm sat here having a think about the reverse trike..... Trying not to over do it though
I'm thinking that I could use some front hubs and discs from something (slightly vague I know) but the question is will the rear calipers with the handbrake fit the front hubs from something like an Nissan 100nx or an mx5?
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks bandit, problem solved once again. Do I need golf Mk1 Calipers?
One more stoopid query though: Do i use the nova or golf discs? I'm thinking that I'd have to use the nova discs

nova front discs non vented  mk 1/2/3 carriers any vw rear callipers i went for vr6 corrados they have the spring inside instead of out side it prevents seizing. then pads and cable to match your callipers, im sure theres a bigger fitment list on here somewhere ile see if i can find it

Hi bandit, I think that We are at crossed purposes, i think that I'm going to have to use front hubs as the two wheels are going to be on the front and need to swivel. I think, though I'm not sure, that rear hubs are no good as they are fixed. I could probably make them swivel but it means even more work and problems to solve. Now I could be wrong and will be happy to be told different.
Thanks again

hi k i was on the same wave length, nova front hubs , but nova calipers havnt got handbrake mec so you'd need veedub rear calipers. the only other way i can think is to mount a second caliper on the rear disc that cable operated as im sure the handbrake cant be hydrolic, maybe easier to go that route,

Different type of vehicle but I am thinking of mounting a cable operated caliper onto my bikes rear disk to give a handbrake so if you go that way Klogan post what you do please

Thanks bandit, had a senior moment
I'll be phoning the local breakers tomorrow or Friday to see what I can get.
Hanson... I thinking that i will be going down the front HUD and vw caliper route, but that is subject to change
Thanks again for the help
