    X Engineering Handbrake Conversion

    Has anyone investigated this

    X Brakes for Land Rover Discovery & Range Rover Classic

    Is it smaller than the drum?

    Looking to increase clearance under handbrake behind an LT230 or protect it from getting snagged offroad, i have broken both tranny mounts by landing on the Drum Handbrake in my 89 Range Rover Classic and looking into options to stop it happening again.

    What have other people done?

    Yep put one on the RRC about 2 years ago when I put in a GQ box. Smaller and neater than the drum but overall I don't think it's that much better than the standard set up

    They are actually supplying an LT230 remote mounted transfer kit compatible with the standard X-Eng disk brake kit.

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

    Quote from link:

    "Land Rover LT 230 Upgrade / Shorter rear
    Rakeway manufactured
    Short output shaft and bearing housing
    Simple bolt on fitting
    Reduces output length by 70mm allowing better propshaft angles
    Heavy duty shaft and flange

    Version for lightweight Rakeway handbrake calliper and disc

    Version for X-Eng handbrake calliper and disc."

    This to me says both companys make it?
