have a word with zakboy, i gave him and his mate some a few months ago with new cyliders and shoes, and i think they wanted early ones instead, so they might not have used them, on the disc front i used mk3 carriers, i was told there the same as mk1/2, so brought them and they fit/work no mods needed  |

Cool.
We really ought to draw up a definitive list of the necessary parts for this conversion -this comes up here every couple of months!

Really depends what lever you're using & where you mount it etc. I had a cable made by Speedy Cables, (I think they're listed in the Links for commercial purposes section of the forum), using standard VW Golf end fittings. Eventually we're gonna reach the point where every Reliant axle on the road has this disc conversion & no-one will remember they left the factory with drums! |

Are there any Reliant engines still left in cars?! Actually, there's one in Basingstoke. Looks like one of the last models, (different headlights etc). Kids nowadays must wonder what the hell it is!

glad you got it sorted, early mk 3 are mk1/2, the later ones have the dogleg and im sure would fit but not as simply speedy cables, i need some new ones and im moving the hand brake to make it easyier to apply for test, whats the round about figure for a set mm if you can remember, or a phone number all the auto factors round here are pretty close to less than useless  |
