Evening , Now i do have a question though, is the bench holding the gazeebo up or is the gazeebo stopping the bench blowing away?  thats just shows the genius of Dali's design ... all I know is they both fall over if I cut the string .... .. Hagar .. |

I'd assume it's the bore size or piston diameter too, so sounds like there's no problem.
Gazebo? I thought it was an oxygen tent for poorly tricycles.

So your trike's loitering within tent? Both calipers should have a coiled return spring on the handbrake mechanism.

also worth making a not of one reliant axle i have in my garage has three bolt holes holding the back plate on! tis not a problem if your gonna use flat plates for your disc conversion as you just need to drill one whole in a different place the other two line up perfect
I'm in the same boat, took my axle apart only to discover 3 bolt holes also. I'll have to get plates made with the holes in different places. I rang a couple of breakers here, looking mk2 golf caliper carriers, and the afore mentioned calipers, but to no avail, 1 had A4 calipers but no carriers, plus he was looking an extortionate price. I was wondering if any of you knew of any other calipers that would do the job. Wouldn't you just know it, I ballsed up one of the big nuts on the end of the halfshafts that hold the hub on. Now to get the hubs pressed off the shafts. |

I've never seen a 3 bolt axle. All the ones I've ever worked on have been 4.
Reliant didn't make their own brake systems, they bought them in from whoever was cheapest at the time. I was told the 4 bolt jobbies use Leyland Mini brakes & the earlier ones, (presumably the 3 bolters like yours), are Triumph Herald or similar.
Any caliper that has an integral mechanical handbrake mechanism will do the job.

hi xj750
I used seat leon calipers and golf mark 2 carriers of which I have one spare one. You can get new nuts easy and somewhere on this topic is the thread size as I messed mine doing the same. Someone on ebay is selling the plates made up for approx 5 pounds each last time I looked.. look in the trike section. You could redrill them to suit you axle. If you need one carrier I can sort it for you in about 2 weeks time as I am in the usa at the moment. PM me if you are interested. regards brains

How about trying your local cycle store I think something like those were used to locate cables around the frame ?

It may be that you have a Kitten axle, as the backplates look very similar to mine, which also had a three-bolt fixing.
