4 sealed bearings, 4 brass bushings, 4 washers, axle bolt, spring carrier, locking nut, 2 cupped washers and nylock nut.
Difficult to get it lower than £15 and make it worth my while

If the conversion-kit consists all the parts mentioned above, £20,- would be just fine too. It is handmade right? This clever trick looks like it would make any caliper work much smother and maybe or eventually make the caliper-arms work in synch easily. I think this could be interesting for anyone who actually rides his bike(s) and is tired of adjusting them caliper brakes over and over again.  :daumenhoch:
How comes that a company like DC or ACS never came up with that idea...? Sell the idea and become rich.  :D

dont know if this helps but this is one of rob ridges reaction boa's. this is the 10mm version but i also have one of his 6mm versions and it's exactly the same except it's threaded for a 6mm bolt.

oldschoolace:
That's brilliant, thanks  :daumenhoch:
Having a hard time finding any and thought about making em myself. That deffo has a home brew look about it. Just need to keep looking for stock ones or work out a way of cutting the slot reliably with the tools I have  :chin:

Mikku:
I don’t have any Boas (calipers or snakes), don’t need a conversion kit and can’t offer any useful opinions but man, I love following your threads Clint! I wish I had your skills and ingenuity! Top bodging mate! :bow:
