well done John , you seem to have had a lot less pain than me ... in your photos it looks like you had to cut a couple of clots in the disc to allow the cpeedo drive tangs in .. is that right ? . Weird, I never had to do that on mine. Did you need any washers / shims on the caliper arm bracket to get the right hand caliper aligned right ?

Speedo cable clearing the new disc okay ?

You just need an adjuster spring for the right hand side now ?

Let us know what its like on the road

cheers,

ewan

hi Ewan,yes ,I did need to file the disc center,so glad it was alloy !!!
also had to remove about 4mm from the rim of the drive retainer so it fitted inside the disc center,
needed 1 washer on the lower bolt (8mm) this was mainly to let the arm swivel freely,

speedo cable is about 4-5mm from the disc,so far,no contact,
I have always run my brakes without a spring,to let the arm move freely as the fixed pad wears,its an mid 70's mod.seems to improve
the braking,
need time for the pads to bed in,then I'll let you know how they work,

thanks

John
