Title: Waking thoughts . . . .
Post by: Speedy1959 on Wednesday, 11 April 2018, 04:13 PM
Waking thoughts that became a reality.. Lol

Dial gauge doesn't arrive till later today but I thought I would post a couple of photos of my idea for a secure mounting area for the dial gauge for testing discs.

Its very simple and can be attached and removed in 2 minutes without removing anything from the bike at all!

I drilled 2 holes in the metal bars to allow different mounting points as I don't have the dial gauge to hand just yet.
Once it arrives I shall take some photos of it in situ.
Overall I am pretty pleased with this solution to my problem !

Rod is 12mm
Steel is some 9mm galvanised stuff I had left over from a garden project ages ago.

Obviously this would work on any bike that has hollow axles..
My rear disc is fine but I have a longer piece of threaded rod should I ever choose to test the rear disc.

I commend this idea to the house.

If you paint it black you'll get the results quicker   :stir:
