I would definitely be interested when you can confirm that they can be fitted to a Puma.

been wanting one of these suckers for ages... top idea
I am interested for my Def 300tdi, so I guess that's a Mk2.
Will want to kow $ details prior to purchase.
Good Job!
I can see their usefulness in the UK, but is it really necessary here ? :confused:
(I remember when Jon first developed them and how popular they were/are on LR4x4")
i suppose it really depends on what you do with your car and how reliable the handbrake is......ours isn't reliable one sniff of mud and it failsQuote:

My hand brakes were not cable operated and I had to get 2nd hand brake levers to suit.
providing the landed cost stays under $250 Im in, do they do the kit for a series?
Is the shipping expensive due to weight?
If so, it may be possible to skip the actual disc and get Simon to give the dimensions for them to be manufactured locally.
Simon has put most work into the bracketry to ensure it is strong enough and finding the caliper etc. The disc is just that, a flat disc with a few holes.
I kind of know Simon (evil genius behind X-Eng) and he might go for that kind of idea as it wouldn't impact on his IP or reputation.
Looks like the usual issue of freight is the killer. Keep looking around Lou as the first quote I got for a cargo barrier was £369:eek: which was almost twice the price of the item. Suffice to say I got it for a lot less.
