Disc Brake Conversion

Grinder & paint make me the welder I aint.
Another weekend another hour in the shop. I blued the disc brake mounting jig I made last week and 3d printed some distance pieces.
Today I fitted the Disc Tabs and welded them. I also added bosses to mount the brakelines to the seat stay.

[@michaelgilchrist851]

nice👍

I also want

[@69Deez_Nutz69]

Would not advise not replicate it. Disc have significantly more torque forces than rim brakes. I've seen Chromoly Steel tubes caving in after a 100km ride.

Put a brace

[@JPProeger]

Yes, for heavy use I would definitely recommend to add a brace.

[@diegomata9942]

How much would this cost ? I don't know how to weld. Thanks

[@leotronixbabu]

Have you any PDF artwork of that guide?

[@JPProeger]

I am sorry - I dont have a pdf: I used this 3d print as a template: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3574514

[@izackbmwtechnischen4606]

Bro where did u get that guide tool I would loke to get one of those I want to do the same thing to my bros bike

[@JPProeger]

The tool is handmade based on this 3d print. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3574514

[@nthelifeofsin]

COULD YOU DESIGN ONE FOR FRONT MOUNT?

[@MR-backup]

Where's the link? Company brand? Product name? ANYTHING?!

[@JPProeger]

What product are you looking for? The tool I built myself - see previous video.

[@MR-backup]

@@JPProeger Oooooh, I see.
Do you happen to have a stencil PDF of it, so that one can print it and try to refabricate it?

[@JPProeger]

unfortunately I only have 3d print data. www.thingiverse.com/thing:3574514 - as i had a few requests for the files, I will prepare a drawing. @@MR-backup

[@Mowaxos]

​@@JPProegerDoes this also fit old beach cruiser frames?

[@JPProeger]

@@Mowaxos I don´t see a reason, why it should not. You just have to be careful, that your frame can take the loads of braking. In some cases a gusset might make sense.
