Thanks mate, thats nice to know. I dont think i would have the time to make up kits, ill see how it all goes, the plan is once this is done to try another set with defender 4 pots and move these to the back of my series. I think if you wanted to sell kits you would be better off finding a...

Hi mate is it a petrol or a diesel, either way black smoke will be excess fuel so I wouldn't worry too much especially at wot

Yeah that's basically my issue, I don't like the brakes after submersion in water or mud and haven't got the time to keep re building them. Sounds like an interesting project thoughh

Thanks for the opinions as for the caliper spacer I have used kits on my old track car with 10mm spacers moving the caliper to no avail so it should be fine, if I have an issue ill turn down a spacer weld it on and mill the blackface down. As for disco axles I was worried about the caster...

Sorry for the delay in this ended up spending some time making a kit with cortina calipers but am still looking, are any of these still available? Mr noisy I think I'd prefer single line ones for ease. Aaron

On Sunday i set about mocking them up on my truck, this is where i realised i dropped a bollock and used 1980+ series hubs which means they wont fit my stub axles, i had 1 spare 80+ front stub but will have to modify a rear one to fit for the other side :annoyed: Anywhoo i thought i should mock...

That gave me a pretty good surface to mount the disc so the next job was finding a suitable PCD that would fit both the 6 stud discs and 5 stud hubs. This was a little trial and error based but we settled on a place that would fit both and drilled the discs out to 5 stud 10mm mounting holes. We...

Once i was happy with my wooden design i had a frend laser cut out the brackets for me Here is the bracket straight from the laser cutters. IMAG2881 by darransandwich, on Flickr Fits nicely in the middle which is a good sign IMAG2879 by darransandwich, on Flickr Plenty of clearance for the...

Basically i have decided recently to fit some disc brakes to my series. Im not to certain how they will pan out but im most of the way through the process of producing and fitting the kit so i thought i would wack a thread up. Any advice or opinions would be great. after a bit of reading...

Do you know what the dimensions are like with the twin and single circuits, Im not sure if it would be a bit of a faff running twin circuit calipers can you just join the two feed together with a T Piece?

Hi there, im looking for a pair of front defender solid disc calipers. Im not too worried if there siezed or not as im using them to mock up for a series disc conversion. Does anyone have any kicking about. Thanks Aaron

I use barnet welding supplies they deliver to the north london area and are always really nice and friendly. Barnet Welding Supplies, Welding and Gas supplies to the industry|welding gas|welding consumables

Oh right thats good hope with the little use my landy gets it will last me a while.

Chassis wise i only had to weld on the mounting plate and crush tube. the front cross member is still as it was.

Ha Ha it would probably be pretty unstable. saying that you dont exactly have many roads down your way you can go very fast on. If you need hoses made up give me a shout as i get a discount at a few places that make braided lines etc. i guess you would need some steering arm changes too but...

Thankd Paul, do you like the picture of your old landrover above :)

Thanks for the message Paul, You can have one back. I still need a pic of your new landy.

Mr Hooke does this mean yours is al workign now then? Oh and am i the mate who ate the overdrive? ha ha. I think min was just a poorly example as its had worn teeth for a good while before it broke.

I think you will struggle to get a td5 for 2-3k but then i could be wrong. i wou;d think if there are any in that price range they would be in pretty bad shape. I have heard of people spending up to 3k on a 300tdi if its really mint. If you go for an older model i would check the sills and...

i think the thoughts on the leaf spring was that one may be older than the other and so may be sagging lower. chack the lift shackles are the same length either side too.
