    We're in Brisbane, but happy to travel to NSW to get them fitted.

    Thanks
    I believe they still are - the OP doesn’t get on here much - I’ll let him know you’re after a set. I need to ring him this week anyway - will make it sooner rather than later.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    If you guys are attempting to source components for disc brake conversions you should look at the enormous range available from Speedway Motors. you won't better their prices unless the exchange rate goes completely bad.

    Free Shipping @ Speedway Motors, The Racing and Rodding Specialists

    They usually have stocks of almost everything in their catalogues and in my experience they despatch same day. They use DHL, FedEx, and UPS. They will use the US post office but you have to ask. Post Office is generally cheapest by far but can take up to 2 weeks.

    Thanks guys.

    I'd like to support Cookey if I can, he seems to have done a great job developing all these components for the rest of us less mechanically competent.

    They do not list anything for Land Rover. In fact they do not list LR on their models list.

    I got my Electric Lightweight engineered without discs because of the regeneration from the motor under braking ( uses braking energy to charge the batteries ) so wont be needing the sets I was asking about earlier.

    edit: but the bloody BRAND NEW genuine Lucas panel switch I use to control the regen braking just broke a few days ago, its the second genuine Lucas switch that has failed on my lightweight since I converted it, lucky that didn't happen during the braking tests. I have the switch so I can turn regen off in slow moving traffic !!

    Cookeys conversion is a whole system designed specifically for the series land rover, including dual diaphram booster, dual circuit master cylinder and new wheel cylinders for the rear that are a different size so the bias is correct. It makes a series land rover stop like a modern car, it is simply brilliant. Cheap it is not, but I think it's the best on the market and it's made by a local too. All of the above was the reason I bought a kit from him and not try and cobble something together myself which I'd started to do.

    I've let him know you're trying to make contact - hopefully he will jump on here at some stage soon.

    I was not referring to LR specific bits. They do list multitudes of rotors, calipers, master cylinders, boosters, proportioning valves for people involved in both street and racing projects. Pick and choose if you are doing it yourself and not looking for a complete manufactured package.

    This would mean, of course, you would have to organise the engineering yourself.
