[QUOTE="Dave61, post: 96365, member: 231"] David, I`ve been working on a disc brake conversion, I`ve had two adapters made to suit the front hub & Kawasaki discs from a ZX6 & had seen your suggestion for the caliper plate so bought an unthreaded hollow axle but then realised that the bearings would not have the nuts to retain them which I believe was the case with Lightnings, but as I`m unfamiliar with the set up I can`t get my head around having loose outer races, could you shed some light on whether I`ve got that right. I`ve got a pair of Billet 6 pot calipers left over from a previous project and whilst I appreciate they are overkill they are a very slim caliper so no issues with spoke clearance. A pair of their 4 pot ones would be very neat & compact, perhaps I should get my hacksaw out ! [/QUOTE]
