F/S Reliant axle with disc conversion

[lunatic]

For sale is my reliant axle from the trike I had. Not sure if it's an A or B axle, I'll check tomorrow. Standard width. Has a set of the first caliper adapters Andy did in alloy, Vauxhall nova discs and vw golf gti calipers and carriers. I'll even chuck in a pair of old 5 spoke alloys to roll it about on!
Looking for about £250 or possible swaps for interesting stuff, tools, vehicles etc. or a small crap mopeddy thing.

I'd be interested in the calipers and carriers, especially the carriers.  Already got a reliant axle with nova discs but the project has come to a grinding halt on finding carriers to fit the bracket plates.  Golf MK2 carriers seem to be difficult to find.
So far I've got the plates and discs.  The hubs are being machined today to fit and centre the nova discs onto.  Just need carriers, calipers and a possibly a cable

Try the vw sharan, ford galaxy or the seat version of the two mpv vehicle for the carriers

I'm sure we used a Golf part for my old Passat - I know it wasn't quite right and it had to be modified a bit but it worked - so I guess it would work the other way round?

Managed to get a set off an Audi 100. They seem identical and after a trial for last night I discovered they're a touch tight on the disc but only just so really just need a dremmel inside them to polish a bit. Fingers crossed this works.

Useful info. Thanks.

what thickness discs are they 1/2" or 3/8" ?

[Hadfield_mike]

12.7mm so must be 1/2". Standard nova ones I assume. I've tried to follow the original design from on here but struggled on the mk2 golf carriers but the Audi 100 ones are on. I'll try to post some photos when I clean it all up and refit but I'm sure it's nothing new to you guys anyway.

From memory I thought the disc used were 10mm for setup

===3/8ths

That explains why I've had to open up the carrier a bit. Now I just hope the pads will fit in. Can't seem to wind back the caliper to test fit them. Is there a way to do this with the mk2 callipers without that special tool?

Don't think someones FS advert is the place to dicuss this but I am pretty sure you need the 10mm discs from a 83-91 1.0 or 1.2 Nova. Perhaps we could continue this in trike tech.
