Rear disc conversion

Hi all.

A quiet week while recovering from my back operation.

But my buddy has finished my “disc locker” unit in aluminium that both bolts to the disc carrier and will also  fit the internal features of the original wheel hub to “lock”the disc to the main wheel hub under braking.



Here is the 3d printed test part fitted to my finished disc carrier




It a fair piece of aluminium and the 4 legs lock into / fit in the pockets left by the bosses that are for the cush drive bonded bush’s and the slots on the disc locker miss all the internal hub webs so no side loading  is applied to these areas under braking.



Don’t see anything going anywhere and certainly over engineered for its purpose but that’s the way I like it

Just need to sit back now for a few weeks so my back can fully recover and then I can finish of the assembly and job all done.

Catch up soon.

Best wishes Al.

That looks suitably expensive!

Hi Bryan

Not really

This part plus a new bespoke wheel pull assembly to match the caliper hanger was £140 cash and that includes material and postage too

At that price and with other stuff needed / going on like my planned back operation it was a no brainer for me to make myself  the material alone via eBay was around £50 plus my time in the evening to make once I am able to go back to work

Also just had a nice number of orders for my normal 3d printed parts including a custom RDLC horn cover where the proceeds coved the above and more so make more sense for once for me to drive a 3d printer than a CNC mill




So for once did the sensible thing and farmed it out

Best wishes Al

Mates are great, dosent stop it "looking" expensive though, ive made some wierd bits in my time including stainless sleeves to redo preunit Triumph 650 oil feed crank ends and wierd slugs for Enfield 250 forks and adapting a 70's Jeep Cherokee track control rod to take another adjustable end (odd size LH thread). How about cutting a thread on a piece of 4 inch pipe with a lathe and thread chaser(feed box stuffed!)
Have fun and get better soon
Bryan

Yes I have to agreed having a mate who is handy on a CNC at a sensible rate is great and all Faz needs is a Step file of the part so no drawings need either

The real sad bit is that “beautiful” piece of machining is going to be hidden away inside the wheel hub

No doubt I will use him again for my hybrid project too
