I think I see the problem.  Can you make one without wheels?

Yes, wheels do get expensive but, you are not going anywhere without them. Add on the cost of good quality stainless spokes and your be up to about £600  :o
I could of saved a bit on these wheels as, i was offered a good secondhand set of rims.

Trigger:
Wheels are back together and have a old mudguard bracket as a template. It will have a old original mudguard on it but, I would have to have it off and on so many times to try and get this second pivot arm lined up and you can easy see what you are doing.

On this second pivot arm, do I need to pack the arm out at any of the mounting points ?

Only way to be certain is fit the front wheel andsee where the disc sits, swing bits need to be same place over disc and as parrallel as possible.

Hope that make sense.

First one i did was two 500 sliders one caliper in front one behind doing a cut n shut job on the fender bracket mounts, redid it with 550 forks and i dont think i used spacers on either but this was 75/6!!!
