Yep, been there, looked at that, far too big. I wanna sleep in it when pissed, not have a party.
Still 1500 quid built last time I looked.
If I could build a casket on wheels cheaply I'd have done it years ago.
But I ain't about to pay 800 quid plus shipping for a new one!

Yes, I'm a true Yorkshireman, money is for counting and drooling over, not spending.

One small point re the 3 hole flanges, wouldn't it be easier to drill the flange to match the adapter plate?

A hydraulic bench press, (like a glorified bottle jack in an upright frame), seems to be the favourite method. The Reliant hubs sit on a tapered shaft & can take up to 30 tons of pressure to shift. Any decent repair garage should have a press. Usually they'll do it while you wait for a couple of quid beer money. Be aware though that they'll go with a bang when they finally release from the shaft -frightened the poo out of me the first time.

Looks good dont it??

Anyway back to the point of my post on this particular part of the forum. I have access to a CNC plasma cutter at work and I am going to slightly alter the design of the caliper mounting brackets drawn a few pages back and get some cut from 6mm stainless steel.

Anyone want any?Huh
