Nah, that's fine then B. Id've thought the flat base of the spacer would sit against the flatter face of the disc centre rather than the back of the wheel, but if it's stamped that way it must be right.
We'd love to see you on the run. MUST finish my own trike too!

I afraid that I have been to many Rallies being quite old , Used to be one of the main organisers and Silly games Master of the Pissed Indian Rally in Kent , I am still a member of Renegade MCC being one of the founder members . Now I am a DJ of bike Rallies and other Parties , Weddings etc and hope to Party at many more yet, so if you need a DJ with a Large PA for a Monkey Party or Show just let me know......and if I am not booked would love to do it.
I will double check the instruction on the spacer and let you know when back in the workshop tomorrow.

Thanks for the Praise my members and I miss it too but not the hard work, the main Man who did the planning was Mad Dog of Kent it took a whole year and 50 or so members and lots of helpers to put on . It finished on a high, we could not make it any bigger or better and with the new regulations and Laws it was time to downsize. We now do the Redskins Rally on the Isle of Sheppey in August, which is a back to Basic Rally for approx 500 . ? will anyone be at the Bum in the mud ?

regarding the wheel spacers on my trike and which way they face. I took a snap of them and it says THIS SIDE TO WHEEL on the big flange side ?

Fair enough.
My very first rally was on the Isle of Sheppey. The Pegasus Rally in 19 ...79ish. Rode there on my little CB200 Honda with 20 or so members of my old bike club, the Fox & Hounds MCC. We won the club turnout trophy, the tug of war trophy & one of our guys won the best bike trophy with his Kwacka cafe racer.
I'm back row, 4th from the left. Whatever happened to that young Monkey.

Evening , a 'numpty' caliper question .. I've just got round to fitting the disc conversion on my axle ... got it all together and stood back to admire it .. as you do .. and thought to myself 'that calipers going to be a bit close to the axle mounting bracket' looked at the other side and the gap was a bit bigger , so I thinks .. ' bugger ' put it together wrong , checked it all and nope everything where it should be ... then I noticed the calipers are different .. one is slightly longer than the other and the handbrake bracket is different and the bleed nipple is in a different position ..... I never noticed when I gave them a wire brushing .. and the guy I took them too to wind the piston back in for me never said anything . As far as I know these came off the same motor ( a 91 G60 corrado ) they both had the small pipe with the bracket still stuck to them , so now the 'numpty' question ... will it make any difference .... they both seem to fit ok ...
cheers .. Hagar ..

That's odd mate. Presumably someone's replaced one on your donor car at some point then. As long as the caliper pistons are the same size & the pads cover the same area of the discs, they should brake at the same rate. Maybe just from a different year of manufacture or even just a different parts supplier.

Evening , the carriers are the same .... the pads are the same (the original pads were still in them , straight swap for new ones ) and everything seems to work ok , I just cant believe I did'nt notice they were different , both sides lock ok when you push the the handbrake lever/bracket , the only thing I can think of is one side was replaced over the course of the original cars life .. I'll get the old girl back together and see whats she's like .....
cheers .. Hagar ..

Different castings, but i`m reading the 38 thats stamped on both as the piston size, shove the wheels on and away you go,noone will know any different mate. Now i do have a question though, is the bench holding the gazeebo up or is the gazeebo stopping the bench blowing away?  |
