Disk Brake with Douglas Billet Wheels?

Where can I find a front disk brake kit that will work with Douglas Billet Wheels with no modifications?

I used to have one of the Douglas 5 spoke front wheels... pretty ghey how they set it up for no front brake, so you have to drill it for a disc.

That might be me - I have done 2 bikes with discs F&R, One has the RB kit the other has the five-O kit, Both have Reeg rears.

It's not gonna work W/O a trip to the machine shop. The guy I use charges $50 per wheel for the mod.

Re: Disk Brake with Douglas Billet Wheels?

I'm in MN so shipping plus the machine work probably wouldn't be practical. I'll have the wheel of in the next week, I'll shoot some better pics. It's really easy once you see it apart. I have a call into him too, I'll ask if he wnts to do more

Re: Disk Brake with Douglas Billet Wheels?

I would rather have a shop thats done this before do my machine work so I would pay the shipping to and from him. Let me know if he would be interested in doing this for me, and if not I guess I'll have to figure something else out.
