Rear disc conversion

Happy with that
Will need to make up the required wheel spacers nearer the time that will replace the round black and white areas you see at the moment
All really that is left to do is sort out a torque arm that fits between that hole in the hanger and the original fixed pint on the swing arm and improve the hub locking assembly as per the earlier post this morning which I see as a no brainier
As the wheel assembly design is almost complete and looks totally practical and all the main problems are solved I will next look to see how I can sort the rearsets to accept a master cylinder which will need my thinking cap on as it will need to look pleasing / factory like the rear disc assembly
Hope all are enjoying the posts so far

Hi Allan,
I've just caught up with the progress on your disc brake conversion, some lovely work going on there, nicely finished.
Looking at the mounting position of the underslung caliper, I just wondered what your thoughts are on potential water soaking of the pads from spray coming off the front wheel, it looks as though it could be in the line of fire. ?
What do you think ?
Regards
Dennis

Yes I see what you mean, the set up is the roughly the same as the Cagiva Mito that I have copied that has a under slung caliper too.
Maybe slight lower but still under slung
Worse if it was an issue I could always add a subtle 3 d printed “deflector†mounted on my lower exhaust mount that sat in front of the caliper for extra protection from spray if I ever go out in the rain
Lastly pads are well hidden / shrouded inside the caliper due to it being an opposed piston unit rather than a sliding type with minimal gap for the disc thru the caliper body (about 1mm per side clearance between disc and caliper body)

" if I ever go out in the rain" :D :D :D
Yes I know what you mean. !!!
The Delkevic looks very interesting. Do you have any video footage so we can all hear that "music" through the rev range with the 400f on song. ??
Regards
Dennis ;) ;)

Hi Oddjob
I am a greedy person
I have three in total, two ultimaker 2’s and bought my son last Xmas a Flashforge creator pro 2 that I borrow now and then (plus jump on his pc that has Fusion 360 when I cannot use my SolidWorks pc)
The ultimakers tend to get used for big stuff like the disc carrier and my rd sale parts like replacement clock cases
and the flashforge for smaller stuff like the rear set stuff
And some nice dual extrusion/ colour parts too in ABS as the flash forge is good for fine detailed parts due to it using a smaller nozzle and filament and has a more controlled filament feed system
As for running costs, other than upfront purchase and a few maintenance parts they run for free and at a good profit as they are always on the go making parts for eBay / FB and the Rd forums as shown below as a little home business as well as home projects too like the disc conversion
