x-brake on a disco

<< < (2/3) > >>

Matt_H:
without wanting to sound like a walking advert - so far it's really good, it does what it says on the tin!

I'd be tempted to wait for his new back plate, but even without the skid plate it's a quality piece of kit :-)

Jake:
Was it easy to fit Matt?

beast5680:
prices seem quite reasonable as well i was expecting it to be at least twice the money

Matt_H:
no and yes.

no because it's never been done to a disco before so I had to work out all the angles and mods, yes because once I'd worked out what to do it was as easy as bolting it all on.  I've documented the whole lot with full details.

Knowing what to do and where I think you could do the whole lot inside 2 hours without anything more than a socket set, spanners to do the drive shaft (unless you are lucky enough to have a drive shaft removal tool) and a big philips screw driver.  That's taking your time too. I reckon I could do it inside an hour / hour and half second time around.

as per my write up on the website I think he only makes £25 on the kit - so when you knock off tax it's hardly going to make him a huge profit - Si seems like the kind of guy who likes making stuff mostly for the challenge of doing it.

It's nice to see enthusiasts doing stuff for enthusiasts like this -unlike certain comapnies selling stuff for exhorbitant amounts.

If you are passing feel free to come and a have a look and play in person.
