Pads fit the rear of a Jag and some other sports cars.

So, here's what I remember.. Disco 3 rear disks, 110 front Callipers, a lot of man hours and something like this.... but I can't tell you any more than that, and I can't remember where I took this photo.. :D
Note the oil filler plug on the front of the CV housing.
Disc looks to be held by spacer bolted to the wheel stud plate casting.
Disc OD looks smaller than Zeus so the defender 110 caliper fits
Note positioning of the caliper is the same as Zeus as is the disc.
There is only one way to do the conversion because of the lack of room.
What I do like is having the spacer for the disc bolted to the hub the way it is makes the whole thing much lighter than Zeus..
The Zeus fitting to the back of the wheel studs saves a machining operation and much work but is heavier.
The disc is indeed, Disco 3 tdv6 rear, the handbrake usually operates inside and hence gives a bit more room than other discs. The defender 110/130 caliper with a slimmer spacer fits over.
Both components need fiddling with to fit.
The hub was machined to give six positions between the studs on which to mount the adaptor.
The caliper mount pics up on the original brake bake plate bolt positions.
The caliper will only fit at the rear, believe me, we spent months getting to this point.
Please bear in mind, this has not yet been through engineering, nor road tested, as my 101 is in the midst of a somewhat long winded re-build/ conversion.
I have managed to fit, standard 101, 8" banded std and John Craddocks 8" rims over this set up.
But take note of the spacer plate, which replicates the thickness of the brake drum.
The rear setup is similar, uses 110 late rear discs, calipers and factory Salisbury caliper mount.
The mounting to the hub is the same idea as the front, though not identical.
Finally.... I have to thank simon, sitec.
He's been at me for a while to post something of by build on here, I do watch everyone else's projects etc and love doing so.
I can't believe you guys achieve so much and still find time to post your progress on here.
I also have to thank a very great friend who is responsible for the engineering/machining work, we have spent many hours and days beating our heads together over it. So far...
Without him, I'm not sure id have got anywhere near this point.
Whilst I'm happy to share some of our efforts, neither of us have any intentions of replicating this conversion or parts of.
I am however fairly happy to try and help Anyone who fancies having a go them selves.
Time is my main enemy as I'm sure is most peoples, so bear with me.
Cheers Peter
Ps, I've not posted much before, so apologise in advance if not correctly posted etc.
Sorry Pete! Couldn't resist the temptation to put a pic in any longer!! Its something Im going to have to do sooner rather than later as my brakes are bad!! How's it coming along? :)
That's all good!
I'm still picking my way through it, little things all take time,so just keep trying to put a little bit of time in each day.
Still along way from a road test though..
Would love to see more pics if it! Why not start your own rebuild thread here? :). I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that.:)Quote:

Have a bit of catching up to get through to get to where i'm at, but hay.
I'll try and post a few more pics of the brakes as well on this thread.
HELP!
It's late and i've had a long day, but i can't see how to put pictures on here
Cheers

Not sure if its the same on a computer, but on an Ipad, I click on the paper clip just to the right of the smily face in the overhead columb. That will bring up an option to attach a picture either via web address or from your computer. Sellect your computer and choose the pic u want to show. Click 'upload' and once its loaded, it'll give u an option to close the upload window. Then submit reply as norm, and if its worked, your pic will be as a thumb nail in your post.. Anyone have a better yay to explain it.. Please do!! :)Quote:
