hi mick u OK., yep there fitted, went right first time.. thanks for them. . may have to come see you again. thinking of putting a scooter front disc between the axle and prop joint and rigging it up as a hand brake. would look a little different but need to check if it has to be a mechanical working or OK as hydraulic.

Yeah, Landrover, Jaguar ...  I'm guessing a prop brake would be O.K if it was mechanically operated -by cable or lever, like a mountain bike disc brake for example. About a thousand years ago I started my biking career on a Honda CB200. I'm pretty sure they had cable operated disc brakes on the front. |

It has to be mechanical but that's not difficult is it, there are allsorts of calipers with mechanical operation. |

if its legal can mount disc between rear of prop n diff. plenty of room under rear seat. may take space up that would have done for battry and wiring box..
ain't much you can come up with mick that some one ain't tried allready...photo shows hubs n disc you did fitted.

hi terry,just to do something different i think..... maybe i should keep this first one simple and use it as a learning curve, [[[ n it certainly is ]]] keep using the tried n tested things like the manky disc conversion.. no matter how we do em i guess there all unique tho. can understand how some projects go on for years when folk have regular jobs n family, very time consuming and addictive.
