    Disc conversion

    Has anyone fitted the Zuess Conversion for Series Landys, seems hard to believe a straight bolt on requiring only a Disco proportioning valve to be fitted and no booster needed as they have big four piston calipres, if anyone has done this how good are they?

    That doesnt sound right to me Andy....

    No booster on Discs?

    No need for a larger master for the larger pistons?

    Fluid movement is pretty simple, as much as you move 1 end the other is only going to recieve that much fluid, no more or no less (unless there is a leak).

    More info would be good.

    while you dont need the booster for that setup your mad if you dont fit it. By modding the guard slightly on a series you can fit the perentine/county/deefer brake pedal tower + master cyl complete which comes with a booster setup and a proportioning valve all you need to do is get vaccume to it and then set the brake lines up as front/rear split brakes.

    by the nature of the beast discs require an inherntly higher brake fluid operating pressure than drums.

    BUT the County booster and Master is different to a 4 wheel Disc Fender....

    One would think there would be enough room under the Series somewhere to maybe fit a remote PBR VH 44 or something, remember the Mk2 Cortina had unboosted discs, dont know how well they stop

    I had a VH44 under the LH guard of my Series 2 in the early sixties - and someone mentioned here a year or two ago that you can still get them new.
