Long story cut short... Having recently bought my Nautique, I realised that the brakes were doing little or nothing. I've swapped out the actuator as the old one was totally knackered and have bled the system. On inspecting the braking surfaces, I need to replace brake shoes, a couple of slave cylinders and the spring assemblies, in other words spend around $130 per axle.
Now here's the problem, living in Scotland it is going to cost me a fortune to have the parts shipped from the US, so this got me thinking a little.... Would there be any reason why I can't just swap out one axle with a shiney new disk brake assembly and leave the second axle (front) as unbraked by just removing the braking system?
Thoughts and ideas appreciated...
