Making a disc brake ?

And your front wheel will be lighter than the 750 motorbike engined trike pictured?
It’s your funeral

Not sure what I was replying to up above. I was swapping twixt Farcebook and here, and beer was involved.

Someone was saying there's no need for a front brake on a trike.

Fine, I shan’t bother to waste my time digging out 10 yr old pics again. Good luck.

Motorsport brakes often a standard disc plate that is bolted to a bell built to suit a particular application. I guess this means the costs can be lower. It would probably be easier to buy one of them get build an adapter.

Machine up a spacer to take a sports bike front disc, and fit the holes in your wheel.

What tyre do you propose to use. As the rear one on the front with direction arrows etc might not keep msva man happy!

As per this, make a carrier up for the Brake Disk.

Personally, I'd look for a front wheel to fit rather than use the rear.

FFS, why is everybody getting cranky over simple sh1t nowadays? Is it the heat, old age, or what??

Getting more and more like Pistonheads every day.

Because even on this getting more like arsebook every day forum, when someone bothers to give their time to reply to a question it's customary to say thanks. Not "Ahem...."
But you are right, I think the heat and 4 weeks laid up is getting to me, and for being short with you I appologise.

No problemo. All good.

I did try to explain why the somewhat random posting occurred.
