Nomad handbrake retrofit for Atom?

I've just been looking at some Nomad pics and realised the handbrake is fitted in a more regular position in the middle of the frame - has anyone (factory) retrofitted it or know if it's even possible?

The Nomad frame (internally) looks very similar from pictures, anyone tried this as a DIY?

Re: bellcrank bearing?

Great, hope you get it sorted! - Be very careful when spraying the PTFE, you do not want to get it anywhere near the brake pads or discs!!

Re: bellcrank bearing?

Hi, is it definitely the bell crank making the noise? - Reason I ask, is I had a similar knocking sound from the front end on my Atom 3 that I couldn't pin down for ages. Eventually and after greasing the front rack, the bell cranks, suspension and almost anything that moved etc I found that it was ...

Re: Its a big hello from me

The other option for the front is the official license plate holder but I don't know if they are useful for plates of a regular size, though it depends on your car's setup etc.

Re: Hipercar - Prototype Test Drive

I wonder if Ariel has missed the mark somewhat here with the 'competition'.....

Check out the (horribly named) and twice the price (but better looking IMHO) :

Re: Portable tools (recommendations)..

This, plus a long wheel nut socket and an imperial hex for the uprights, an adjustable spanner, a multi tool (with knife and pliers) and some zipties, and spare fuses, and a supercharger belt and a puncture repair, a bottle of water, a mars bar, gloves and a cloth. I may have given this too much th...

Portable tools (recommendations)..

I know there has been a lot of suggestions previously about what we should keep in our "frunk's" so I thought I'd also add one of my own. I recently purchased the "Wera 056490 toolset" which is both a perfect fit and extremely useful collection of tools for anyone doing a trip in...

Re: OBDII DTC code U0155 info / suggestions?

The ECU is searching the original Honda dash and the MIL lamp. Both are not present in the Ariel. You can delete this error, but next time you switch the ignition on the error appears again. No solution here. Sorry. Thanks for the info. On one hand, I’m glad it not just me but on the other, it’s go...

OBDII DTC code U0155 info / suggestions?

I know this is a bit of a long shot but my Atom3 is throwing a U0155 DTC code, found during our equivalent of the MOT test, causing it to fail. I've looked it up and it is apparently to do with the ECU not hearing from the Dash module over the CAN bus, but not sure how that works normally as the car...

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

Hmmm lots of good info. here - I've got an Atom3, so not sure if there is even a reasonable route to 3.5R. If that was in the 10-12K ballpark, I'd be interested but not sure I could leave it with the factory for five months, unless it was over the winter.... I'd also like the Ohlins as a starting po...

Wanted - Ohlins for Atom 3/3.5

Anyone getting out of their Atom 3 or 3.5 who wants to part out a set of Ohlins to sweeten the deal? or if happen to have a spare set you want to sell on? I'm looking for a set in good condition and can offer either the standard shocks or 10 way adjustable shocks by way of a part-ex if required. Ide...

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

Just don’t think it will sell at close to that money. If you’re a fanatic you don’t want a base spec version imo. Especially when it’s not in the launch / iconic 3.5r colour scheme… All in my opinion of course I'd like the upgrade but think it's a bit steep too for the spec there, I've seen here a ...
