First afternoon at Loony's workshop for a week or so. I've welded the spacers to the brake caliper plates & spent an hour or so hacksawing them roughly to shape. Fortunately they fit.

With the disc sat on the hub I found the back of the wheel studs needed a quick fettle with the grinder to clear the caliper. The spacers I added to the back of the plates also need shaving by about a millimetre to sit the caliper centrally over the discs. Other than that though, everything seems hunky dory -whatever that is.

Much bigger & betterer brakes. And the wheels still fit over them, which is nice.
A bit of tidying up with the grinder & file & they'll do the job.

Things don't look much different, but the extra millimetre has been shaved off to sit the calipers centrally over the discs & the plates have been tidied up with a hand file. I've been carting these damn calipers & plates back & forth between Loony's workshop & my shed for weeks now, trying to find a spare hour or two to finish them. Hopefully they're done now.
I've also had cone shaped spacers made up to fit the bottom of the radius arms where they pass through the axle. You can't see them, but they're there.

8.30 in the evening & it's already pitch black at Loony's lair. Winter's on it's way.

 Little pocket camera I keep in the glovebox of the car. With the right exposure & preferably in focus, it'd be a nice atmospheric shot.
