Strange, I thought it would be UNF.

I'll get one, take it down to the local bearing store and get them to check it.

CONFIRMED! They are definately 3/8" BSF x 1"
Maybe that's why whoever originally made the plates went to the trouble of countersinking the plate to allow the original bolt to fit.

I should get the discs and compare them to my mates Defender rears to make sure they are definately the same. I've already confirmed the calipers are rear Defender / Discovery.

Tell her that you are putting the money into an investment... your safety! It's also more likely that a S3 Land Rover will go up in value rather than a new car.

Does anyone know how hard it is to fit discs onto the rear sals....
I would like to do both ends at the same time if posable money wise....



If i'm lucky the metal mobs mite have the decency to ring me back tomorrow .....

I keep telling her that all the time since i spent so much doing the build & the power steering..
I was offered $8500 for it 6 months after i got it rego'd told the bloke to go jump i built this one to keep for myself.....

Rear end conversion is easy it has been done lots of times before (pm isuzurover)

As for the plates guys it will only take a week or so before you have them once we confirm thefit of course

If you go 4 wheel disc you will also have to install a propotion valve (or what eva its called)
