I thought you might just use standard Freelander fronts on the rear. I take it the pcd is the same for the Chrysler as the Freelander then?

Part of my reasoning is you get a servo effect with shoes that you don't with discs, and there's a reduction valve so went big to try and keep standard master cylinder
And they look cool

do you need to sleeve the stud holes?

I'd never get my 15" wheels over those!I see you have spacers for the centre holes. Are they home brew or over the counter? What about the inside of the discs, are they supported?
+1 on the stud holes, can they be bored out and sleeved or are they OK as is?

I've made sleeves for the studs. I'm going to see if I can fit 300c studs. The rings are spigot rings same as the wheel ones. Just had to trim them a bit

It's an experiment at the mo. If it all works I'll look into improving it. Either modify the hubs or source different discs. There's a fair chance I'll need to change something pretty major to make it work properly.

Were they Mk1 or Mk2 discs? The newer 2002> I think are a fair bit bigger. Might be a lot easier to use them even if much smaller than the Chrysler ones.

Think they're 13mm bigger and vented. I think.
The ones in the pic are the early solid ones.
If the disc moves the wheel will fall off!

Been a bit slow recently. But I now have extended driveshafts. Plus I've made a prototype wide arch. Bit of fettling to do but so far I'm well chuffed with it. Basically it's a wider version of the original so not as in your face as the body kit. No advance photos of it I'm going to wait until it's completed.

Careful with that door!
Do too good a job and you'll have to do the rest of the car.

It's a concern
Roof and centre bonnet are going black. Centre front bumper black. Tailgate black. Bumper end caps body colour. May do A bar body colour too. Plastic skids silver, grills silver, bonnet badge silver. All bare plastic to be retextured.
Think I'm on the home run now lots to do but mostly small finishing bits.
