Disc brake conversion adaptor plates

[Rusty's Uncle]

I get a number of enquiries as to wether I still have any of the disc brake adaptor plates that I designed and had some made a while back. So I popped into the laser cutters yesterday to see if they still had the design on their computer system . They did so I ordered another batch. They will fit any 500 or 126 if you run 13" wheels. If I get the time I will get back on the drawing board to finalise a 12" wheel conversion

How much would you charge and what disc's and calipers would you use???

[Rusty's Uncle]

Hi jazz, if you do a forum search I did a full explanation of the conversion using the Cinquecento /Seicento calipers and discs. As for cost, I have not got the final bill yet but I would be looking to try and repeat what I did last time round . That is supplying the best plates you will get at a better price than you will find some of the more agricultural designs. Hope to come in at £30 or less for a pair of plates if possible  including UK postage.

Hi there can I have a set plz..

Update - I rang the laser cutters last Friday and the boss admitted that he had forgot the order as it was all word of mouth. Should be ready this week. Seems hard getting things done these days. I have got a crankshaft in for regrinding & they have had it for about 6 weeks then the reprofiled sport camshafts are also taking longer than promised

Picked up the plates today , seems all go at the moment with the Sport Camshafts arriving yesterday  and now the plates. I have checked the postage rates and will send them for £28 including postage which I think is the same as I did them a couple of years ago. I can ship to Europe for £33 and rest of the world for £37.

Upgrade level 1 - Front disk brakes 240 mm with Ferodo disks. To use them you have to switch from 12" to 13 or larger inch wheels.

What brakes fit to these adapters you are selling rusty? And what size discs?

Apart from the adaptor plates you use all standard parts and if you get good used parts it is possible to do a complete conversion for less than £100. I was having a sort out the other day and found I still had som new all stainless front brake hoses as well.

I am right in believing it a not be done for disc breaks on the back?

No disc conversions can be done on the back...... I'm looking into doing it on mine
