Handbrake conversion to disc : Defender

[dullbird]

Hi Guys

I have contacted the company that make the disc conversion for the handbrake on the defenders.

we have been wanting to put one on the 90 for sometime.....as its a PITA when it gets mud in it and fails

Obviously the more that are brought the more money we get off...and I'm in the process of talking to them in regards to possibly splitting the shipping (for obvious reasons)

this is becoming a very common upgrade in the uk, so I thought people might be interested in a group buy here!

We are only in the talking stages at the moment.....but if your interested post your name in this thread so I can get some ideas on numbers.

at the moment they are 215.00 pounds......but the australian dollar is a touch better with the pound at the moment, that price is also inc VAT which we shouldn't get charged and we will get a small discount on top of that the bigger the discount the more the numbers

it says its for the 90/110 and they do a version that fits the 90/110 with under/over drive and pto the price does vary slightly on the LT95

I might be interested for the Tdi. At this stage I'm not sure if I want to spend any money on the old one though or just keep putting accessories on the Puma. Trouble is the hand brake's stuffed on the Tdi.

At £200 you will only be able to bring 2 in per parcel or you'll get hit with duty by Customs. The AU$'s sitting around 49p at present, so definitely a good time to buy.

I assume this is the X-eng unit?

Keep me posted please.

yes have thought about that but with the discount and the abcense of vat if we got over 10 units could be looking at nealry 40% off (fingers crossed) if we can get him to post the cost of the items then we may possibly get to squeeze 3 in......will have to chat to him.

We are also thinking of doing it for the PUMA, but I have to confrim that this kit will fit...but we wont be doing that for a while yet

I suck at conversion rate stuff....

whats the real AUS cost on this...

if you import more than one for onforwarding (seperate orders for delivery to seperate people but delivered to a single person for distribution) you can work around the customs thing...

hunt around for the setup I was going to try out for getting detroit diffs for those going to cooma. (it was canned due to there being no difference in individual shipping costs or bulk shipping)

40% off would be a fantastic price. I did look at this a few months ago, but the cost was too much. As for the Puma, I think I'd wait until it was out of warranty, but for a long term option it has to be the way to go.

By the way did you fit your transmission guard yet?

Easy Dave at present it's about 49p to $1 so if you multiply the price by 2.1 you get a rough estimate. You can also go to Google and type in: 215 GBP in AUD

I suck too dave.....

taking off vat and a discount which changes with the amount of units
I worked it out around $266.60 not including postage...........(but please don't quote me on that use it as a rough guide)
the less units the more the discount % goes down and it also depends on the dollar to uk pound not changing

Dont get to excited with the 40% actually its more like 38% as that is not confirmed but thats what I'm hoping for should we get enough people in

Oh and sorry derek yes this is the X-ENG unit....and looking at the pictures they look very well made from what I can see

[dmdigital]

£215 less 15% VAT = £187
40% discount on £187 = £112
£112 = AU$236

OK if you can get one at that price I might know another person or two who'd be interested
