So I said to God, "If this is it (life), you can keep it."
And God said, "Just be glad you got the heart by-passes in time.
I don,t normally give refunds".

hi all
thought I was getting on great with my disc conversion untill I came to bolt the caliper on to the carrier......then found it fouled the rear leaf spring ooops back to the drawing board . Looks like I will have to convert the trike to solid rear end which I did not want. any thoughts Huh

Its a wonderfull what a few beers and a good party can do for the thought process ... after drowning my sorrows of the thought of a major rethink of the suspension on the trike and the rally season looming fast I had a brainstorm in the middle of the hang over from you no where.....
If I turned the adaptor plate round rearwards one bolt hole it may miss the leaf spring.... OK the plate would not mirror the shape of the flange on the rear axle but it may work out OK. As my trike is not a show trike it does not warrent all the extra work for cosmetics that wont be noticed.  After more tea and biscuits out to the workshop to see if I could get myself out of the fix.. Here's the photos
The calipers are seat Leon and do fit to Mk 2 carriers Smiley

Only problem might be bleeding the brakes if the bleed nipples are now on the bottom. You might have to bleed them off the disc, then bolt them on. The spacers normally go the other way round by the way.
Handy to know other calipers will fit. So, back on the road in time for the Monkey World run?  Grin

thanks Manky for the advice on bleeding the brakes , The spacer has a instruction stamped into the alloy ...wheel this facing this side... ? so that's how I have placed it could It be incorrect or am I silly ? or need more beer? I am a professional DJ and if not booked on the date of the Monkey Run hope to be there.
My first Bike Rally is on the 24Th to the 26Th April at Mersey Island near Colchester   The Bum in the Mud Rally so Trike must be done soon. Is anyone else going ?
