Well I did it...with the bare minimum of cutting just now, so it looks a little bulky (takes frikkin ages with a 12" hacksaw). Seems to work though and only moves a little under braking. Hope to finish it off and glue with a little carbon wrap this week.

You need someone to cast an eye over it Al. Check the stress colours....

I think a proper "see-er" can just feel th stress aura without having to look

I can't make head nor tail of that. Did you weld on a load of extra tubes?

Sorry the rack is obscuring it. I've made up a plate as per the white drawing above.

Oh right, with the two triangles. I got distracted and confused by the rack too.
Looks heavy. How is it joined to the seatstay? Need more pics.

Ah yes I thought the rack was part of it.
It might work...!
It's also a rather large disc for a road bike...

It does work! It just might break. Yeah I could have used a 140 but I had to bodge the 160, which I already had, so I didn't want to buy a new rtor just to bodge it. 160 also gives more distance to caliper for more bracing.
It's bolted on the inside of the dropout at the rack and mudguard mounts.

well sceptics, I did it and it seems pretty solid. If you see my epitaph on stw tomorrow, you'll know what happened.
