Hi, I have just bought a anti dive kit for my disc brake.And I never read the hole description about the fitting.Its only compatible with drum links, and being a novice at lambretta. Mine are disc links.Can I change my links to drum.Thanks Simon

Hello,
I thought the whole point of an anti-dive kit was to allow the brake back plate to be independent of the fork links.
From my experience an anti-dive doesn't use the lug or stud fixing on either type of fork links, instead it is braced to the fork leg by a link rod.
This is just my thoughts, bear in mind all braking systems need to be correct and working perfectly!

Think you’ll find that it’s only to stop the speedo drive housing rotating. You are quite correct that the actual brake caliper mounting must be free to rotate around the axle and not be fixed to the fork link. So if you can stop the speedo drive rotating by some adaptation (or get rid of it as I did), you should be able to use the kit, but maybe check with your supplier as well.AUSSIE wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2020 5:23 pm Hello,

ive got a scoot rs disc on one of my scooters and that's using disc links but its anti dive, the speedo drive just sits in place and is not a problem, would guess the spaq one will work just the same.
