At the moment sticking to standard colours, so the rear end will be black.
Over the winter it will be stripped again and done black and chrome/polished ally.

Need to route the cable so it dont droop. Evey way it runs it looks stupid, saggin and such.

Hiya.Tidy looking conversion.
Don't forget you need a certain amount of droop in the cable to allow for suspension movement, (not a problem on our Manky frames cos they're hardtails). I once had a Moggy Minor pick-up with a 1600 twin cam Mirafiori motor & back axle. Couldn't figure out why it kept locking the back wheels up when I test-drove it. Took a mate watching me drive up the road to spot the problem -the handbrake cable was being pulled tight under suspension compression.

Got the hand brake mounted on the swing arm so it all moves together.
Just need some hoops on skyhooks!. No probs, maybe?.
Might be easier to fit a disc to the diff input shaft and a caliper on that.
Mountain bike disc and caliper!, locks both wheels too!

OK chaps, when this thing gets weighed do I have to use a certain place or anywhere that will give a print out?
From what I can make out the nearest is miles away and I dont fancy towing it so far.
