Who has fitted the Park Brake conversion to Disc

[d3viate]

G,day, Has anybody fitted the Disc conversion for the Park Brake to their D3/D4/RR yet ? Looks like it could solve the dust/sand build-up problem we sometimes have.
Yes, I know I can blow out the standard setup but the kit is rather cheap $ wise and would be removing one potential problem in the dusty conditions.
Any potential problem in the kit that the LR gurus can see ?
Thanks.

I have not heard of this mod - do you have a link?

Sorry, after a coffee and thinking about it, I don't think it would be legal ?!
I'm not pedantic about all things "legal" (please, no replies from people with their nickers in a twist over that statement, I have all my driving points and no criminal record) but safety issues I do worry about.
A coroners court I do not want to appear at.
They are at most LR spare parts/accessories in GB that I see on the google.

Google search for Speedway Motors, Speedy Bill Smith's Speed Shop in Lincoln, Nebraska. They have a disc brake conversion kit in their catalogue. A rotor, lever and cable, and caliper. Rotor is to bolt to the pinion flange of a Ford 9" but can easily be redrilled or an adaptor coupling made by some simple lathe and drill work. Speedway are an enormous business. One of their senior guys told me they load on average 20-22 UPS semi-trailers every day.

I did a search of Speedys and nothing comes up for a LR3/4 Disco3/4 conversion. Likewise Ebay UK only has kits for Disco 1 and 2 and nothing comes up under a google search on Discovery 3 Hand Brake conversion.

Any one got a direct link for these kits.

Speedway Motors kit is a generic kit for street rods with the rotor drilled for Ford 9". The bolt pattern can be easily altered to fit Land Rover.

The controllers wouldn't accept not having the drum set-up, along with its specific drive characteristics. You'd trigger a Park Brake fault that would cascade into other modules.

Are you getting confused with the disc conversion kit that is for the D1 and I think D2s and the defeners where the hand brake drum is behind the g/box and not at the wheels ?
Just checking:)
