Hi Ziggy i could make you any shape yokes you care to dream up,your trikes crying out for a nice set of slabs. Too right it's crying out for some  At the moment it's running with the original yokes which are the molded type, and they have horrible sticky outy bits, they are bloody awfull. Is it possible for you to PM me your phone number so we can have a wee chat ? I'll be sat down in case of any shocks when ya tell me the price  ......... Any chance of a write-up for the site Zigg? It'll be my pleasure Manky dude, as soon as it's finished I'll get it off to you, and I have to do one anyway, as hopefully it'll be in the Brit Chopper magazine too .....  |

Hoping to pick mine up from the powder-coaters tomorrow morning. They've been fitted once but needed a little re-working, (my fault, not SB's), so had to be re-coated.

Look at these beauties!
The latest components to roll off the Saddlebags production line. After shaking his head at my fag packet diagram & recoiling in horror from my Christmas cracker micrometer, Saddly Bloke's come up with these gorgeous rear brake caliper mounting plates for the Reliant axle disc brake conversion. They're machined from 10mm thick aluminium & recessed to sit over the end of the axle tube. Very, very nice. Thanks mate. In true MMMotors fashion, 4 sets of these have been bartered for an axle for saddlebags' planned trike project.
Look out for a full sized CAD drawing of these on the site soon -the definitive measurments in the form of a downloadable drawing that can be printed out & used as a paper template for readers to produce their own copies.
This particular pair are destined for the guy who MOT'd my van, in payment for the test.
are these wonderful articles for sale and how much ? |

Hiya,
here's the diagram SaddleBags did for us of the plates he made. He only produced 4 sets, all of which have now been used. Last time I spoke to him he had a 3 month waiting list for private work, let alone the stuff he's supposed to be making in work's time. I think it might be worth putting an order in with him for a few more sets though. Not sure of the cost as the last ones were bartered, not bought. I'll check.

Great. Stainless tends to be quite brittle, so make sure it's high tensile. Saying that though, most of the forces on the plates will be going sideways, trying to turn the plates around the disc, rather than across the thickness of the plate, so should be fine. Yup, piccies please. |
