This i look forward to seeing.

I've got something here that is in dire need of machining, it's a huge slab ot aircraft grade titanium, it's round 11" diameter, 2" thick, but i can't find anyone that will touch it.

PS and it's worth a bloody fortune. Cheesy Cheesy

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

3!! What on earth did that fall off? Never seen a 3 bolt one. Yeah, obviously if you've got one of those, (whatever it is), just drill your plates to suit. We've made plates from whatever we've had to hand in the past, hence the difference in thickness. Just means some have needed the caliper hangers spaced out off the top of the plate with a washer to keep the caliper aligned centrally over the disc.

Hi spanners i will try and email you a cad drawing if i can get it sorted the outside shape of the brackets is not so important as long as you get sufficient clearance on the caliper and all your holes are pitched correctly.

Mr Bags, your frame will have to be done at your establishment I think. Any more stuff in Nige's garage & I'll get told to sling me 'ook! Will also be handy if we need any parts quickly knocked up while we're doing it!
