What's people's opinions on the KAD rear disc conversation. I've heard a few issues with the hand brake not working as it should.

What problems setting up. Handbrake or normal brakes. I'm thinking of losing the handbrake for a line lock anyway. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

Can't someone make ally back plates? I'll have a look into making a set of these to see how they work, I was thinking of making alloy slave cylinders, this could work well with it. What kind of money would people pay for ally back plates, cylinders and adjuster mechanism? Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

I would defo have a set of slave cylinders the issue is the sizes people might want? I use the 1275 gt version that I'm not sure many people use. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Oh and removing the circlip and using a nut and anti vibration washer would be great! I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Sounds like a good plan. I'd be interested in a pair. They weigh 0.85kg each in steel.

I had problems with the handbrake seals leaking around the mech but when I told them I had a line lock they blanked the handbrake mech off and rebuilt for free as they had redesigned the seals since. A pain to set up but once eventually set they've been alright Avon 2010 class c 3rd

Any news on these Jim? I'd be interested in a lightweight drum setup too If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I'm pretty sure that there's a fair bit of weight to be saved on the hand brake linkages inside the drum if you replace them with drillium. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:
