Thread: Disco brake upgrade

Hi all, I am trying to upgrade my brakes on the disco to vented discs and defender callipers.

It's all good except these callipers have one line to each piston. i tried to just use one line but it only operates one piston

Do i have the correct calliper and if i do how do you plumb in the extra line?

I was thinking of running a line from the tob bleed nipple into the second port as there is 2 bleed nipples on the pistons. Is this how most people do it or is there a better way

Cheers

That is essentially how my old Fiat 2300 calipers were plumbed, first side bleeds into second side, then bleed screw on that. The bleed screws should hopefully have a suitable union thread type for doing this mod.
