An alternative way to 11" disc upgrade( BIGGER brakes)
#11
Okay back on to today's findings Flavells the machine shop I have used previously. And I had
taken one of the 2003 Voyager alloy hub. Good news, it can be machined down so it can be
used with the mk1 neon strut assembly. And it shouldn't weaken the hub structure.
Cost approximately £20 a side
The bearing assembly, which bolts into the hub will need to be taken out when they machine the
hub to the desired sepcs. Only then once teh bearing assembly has been pulled apart and
compared with a mk1 neon bearing and spindle can it be seen how best to proceed with that part
wither a new holder will need to be made or the old steel voyager one can be machined to
requirements!

A delivery came so another piece of the puzzle or two!
The caliper brackets which bolt onto the hub were up for sale by some sellers seperately
but I found someone selling clapers and brakets for the same price as a braket including
postage do it was a no brainer and £17.77 per side
A comparison, 2003 Voyager Calliper on the left with mk1 neon on the right
I'm just wondering about the size of the voyager piston being a bit bigger than needed?
