• Cost?
• Supplier?
• Which models will it fit?
• Series 1/2/2a/3??

• Eur 780 (Basic kit, hubs and swivel housings only)
• Heystee Automotive
• I only know it will fit Series 3, Hystee Automotive will be able to elaborate.

It's all "crap" - just read the babelfish translation: http://www.heystee-automotive.com/we...id=216&lang=NL

disk brake seals ombouw

With the devised fusee houses and wheel hubs new by our whole serials vooras can be converted of drum brakes to disk brakes with use of the standard Defender disks and brake claws.

There is no acquired characteristic necessary of ash or other components. The original serials and Defender components are possible directly on the fusee houses and wheel hubs are assembled with original to crap and wreck. Oliekeringen also all, gaskets and lower are appropriate without acquired characteristic.

The complete ombouwkit exist from:

* 1 HST linker fuseehuis
* 1 HST right fuseehuis
* 2 HST wheel hubs
* 2 Defender brake claws (geventieleerd)
* 2 Defender brake disks (geventieleerd)
* 1 set remblokjes
* all crap and ring the Defender share to assemble
* 10 wielbouten, voorgemonteerd


The rest of the components, swivel ball, affirmative material etc. is existing the serials ash components.
There is an additional assembly seals available.

This additional assembly seal exist from:

* 2 wielager sets (lower + keringen and gaskets)

Important at order:

* Type of 2: As from 1980 but also on V8 the training period one: 2 right large lower

At possible order is important of indicating it which of these two types your carriage has.

Addit: The cost BEFORE shipping is over $A1,008.00 via XE.com

You did well to find the "translation" Diana

I could make more sense of the Dutch prose, even though I don't speak Dutch

Seems like a good idea; if they are using Defender components it may be possible to copy their good idea and save some money, especially if one already has the Defender parts,

I still think TJs way is going to be cheaper plus i recon i could make some myself with a tracing or drawings & i'm all for the cheapest way .

G'day Banjo,
Just make sure that they are made very well and don't break

Having seen the photos of your work on the power steering and knowing that you used an engineer, I am sure you will do a good job but I always think it a good idea to be reminded that steering; brakes and suspension have to be repaired/ modified properly

If I was doing this I would get an engineer to certify the design and work, so that the worst can't happen,

Cheers Charlie
