The motor in the background's the 3 1/2 litre Rover V8 that's going in my Pop project by the way.

Because of the spacers, the calipers are no longer tucked inside the wheel but protrude a little, the same as Flap's do. I actually quite like that though. Looks more sporty somehow.

I also stripped & rebuilt the front caliper.
This is the same front end I ran on my previous trike. LS650 Suzuki Savage forks, fitted with progressive Harley springs. Savage mudguard & home-made ally fork brace. 250 Honda Superdream wheel. Superdream caliper & machined down Superdream disc, (smaller diameter).

Bunged the distributor back in & fitted points & plugs too. I made a coil bracket that hung from the cylinder head studs, but it left very little thread for the head nuts to screw on to. Wasn't happy with it as I suspect one of the head studs is a little weak anyway, so will make up a new one that stands up off the top starter motor mounting bolt.

Anyone know where I can get hold of replacements for the concertina rubber boot thingies on the pins the calipers slide on? Mine are perished & I've managed to lose one anyway. Is there a Golf caliper refurb kit or something that'll contain them? They're Girling calipers by the way.

Dave, I've tried 2 branches of Halfords with no joy.

I think Flap used a company called something like BigRedd to refurbish his calipers. Wonder if they sell the parts individually?
Pete, did Mrs Pete receive her MMMotors shirt O.K?
