    I don't think he gets on here much at the moment - maybe give Diana (Lotsalandies) a PM asking Cooky to check his, but she doesn't get on here much either at the moment. I have his number on an old phone somewhere - I'll see if I can dig I can dig it up and let him know you're looking for him.

    OK, no answer from PM's to Cookey or LotsaLandies , well I suppose the silence answers my question. My assumption is that they are no longer available !! I need to put discs on the front of my lightweight to satisfy the engineer due to the power boost from EV conversion.

    I don't think that's the right assumption more that they don't come on here at the moment. I'll see if someone can grab their attention.

    Don't come here very often ATM mainly because we're in the middle of moving our combined collections which includes about 40 Land Rovers, 5 Mk3&Mk5 Inters and 4 WWII
    jailbar Fords along with more than 3 x 40 foot shipping containers of spares and machinery. On top of that

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    On top of that Cookey arrived back at Leppinton at 06.00 this morning from a delivery to Ballana. It will be at least a month before Cookey can think about conversions. Although there is a set with the early bearings made for me but no callipers which have to be purchased in

    EV= Electric Vehicle, I am putting 45 x 180 Ah LiFePo4 cells and a HPEVS AC51 3 phase motor in it , I don't expect I'll be driving it any faster than I do now, but it has the potential for 3 x the current power @ 10,000 RPM . so the engineer deems disc brakes desirable .

    The batteries will occupy the existing fuel tank & under bonnet space , so as to not infringe into load area. Outwardly theres will be no changes except for lack of a tailpipe.

    I can easily make my own disc brake set up , no biggie but I thought I'd be helping a bloke out by buying one of his kits, but if its too much trouble I'll do my own. I'm seeing a VASS engineer for the EV conversion anyway so no extra complications to do the brakes.

    How soon do you need them? Cookey has supplies of the caliper brackets which fit either front or rear. The disk mods and rotors done for me are the type with large inner and smaller outer bearings. Im not doing that conversion till after the 80" and Defender 6x6 are completed and the MSA box for the Isuzu only arrived this week. So he may make mine available for you.

    Thanks, Im not in a hurry, anticipate Rover will be off the road for 3-4 months during conversion, hopefully done for Summer its a '73 Series3 , (pre metric) . hope to use 5" rims if possible , Front only will be fine .
    won't need the booster etc as I'll possibly fit a 12v electric booster since I wont have any vacuum.

    I can machine and tap my hubs to accept rotors on my mill if that helps .

    if email is easier evrover@mailcan.com

    Kits still available?

    Hi,

    Are these kits still available?

    My 15 year old daughter has been saving up for 3 years and has just bought herself a SWB Series 3. She won't get her learners until December so I'm not in a hurry, but I'd like to get a disc brake front end on it if possible and these kits sound great.

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

    Thanks
