 Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 6:38 am Post subject: wide 5 4 pot conversion |
 |
|
i put 4 pots on the front of my 69 but i wanted to keep the 14" steel wheels .
so i made these not the prettiest but very strong, adapter made from EN8
calipers from a discovery, late bay disc reduced in diameter 8mm ,late bay hub .
they increase my track by 18mm and weigh a ton but work excellent, a big improvment over drums  |

That looks like a neat conversion-did you have to reduce the thickness of the disc or the diameter? Looks good what year and model of landrover? Cheers

just the diameter and 93 ish discovery.
had to grind a few mm of the caliper edge they just caught the inside of the steel wheels |
