Mistakenly mentioned in another post I had a complete disc front end for my eldo, actually I “only” have  forks, triple and axle. I’ll submit a photo shortly, I need wheel, spacer, fender and disc(s). Anyone tell me what other model front wheel I can grab one from? Same with what size spacer and what is the fender differences between 4ls fender and disc fender. Anything else I’d need beside m/c, cables etc…
Any idea on the value of what I have ?
Thx
Allen

The yokes/triples are the same drum or disk. Wheel can come from a T, T3, Convert, G5. You'll need 10 mm thick spacers for between the bearing carriers and disk, along with longer bolts. Joe Kenny makes the spacers, I have a pair that are surplus to my requirements.

The fender is basically the same except for the center stay - the disk stay is not as wide and mounts farther rearward than the drum center stay. Fender braces are both different as well.

So it appears the fender is the tough one to find. I can get a wheel, discs, spacers/carriers, hardware etc… but the fender…oy, this may take a while

The drum fender can be modified. The drum center mount cut off, a new mount fabricated and welded in place. The Cal II fender is very close, the Cal II front brace is as well.

I have a black and chrome Cal2 front fender I'd sell. No mounting brackets though.
$125+shipping.
