the adjuster is different for a front as well rob
both the above parts are available at porkchops

alternatively just cut off the qr and fit a cable guide. take off the adjuster and set it up as you would an fs880 caliper
you will need a longer spindle as well
get a bulldog front for 9.99 and swop all the parts maybe  :-\

The spindle is fine as it's going on a set of LG's so the rear spindle is just the right length.

Wildon, PM me with details and how much you want for the work and if no one wants a trade then i will take you up on your very kind offer  :daumenhoch:

MartyC:
You don't need to drill, cut or fook anything up to convert it to a front:



New one from Porkchop

http://porkchopbmx.com/Dia-Compe-Brake-Adjuster-FRONT-883QLADJ.htm

Unbolt the micro adjuster and bolt on a one from Porkchop then feed the cable through the QR mech up to the newly fitted adjuster which has a cable pinch olt on it  :daumenhoch:


OR you could just take off the micro adjuster and put the pinch bolt there and lose the ability to adjust cable tension  ;)

pickle:
So Marty, you're saying i don't need a new QR just a new adjuster bolt from Porky?

 ???

wildon:
the quick releases are different front and rear.  how would the cable slide through it?  you'd have to leave the bolt loose.  it'd be a bodge job and the nut would work loose and fall off

brummie:
thats what id say as well terry
the qr on the front has like a cable guide fitted
