Anyone know if defender rear calipers fit a RRC rear axle housing?

I recall seeing a website where someone had done that. I think there was a spacer involved to sort out the sideways alignment.
Of course if you want more braking at the rear with stock brakes, simply bypass the pressure reducing valve.

Have a look here -

Or the tech archive on LR4x4 -

Finally had time to work on the brakes again,work keeps getting in the way.Just fitted 110 calipers to the front and what a difference It locks up
the front wheels at close to the same time as the rears.Before there was no chance of locking up any brakes.So as it stands I'm running:
110 front calipers with bendix 4wd pads
RRC rear calipers with bendix standard pads
Disco 4 port master cylinder-both front outlets to the front,1 rear outlet to
the rear and the other rear outlet blocked off.(use a 3 port master cyl
instead.)
No proportioning valve anymore either.
Cheers Eric.

Good to hear they where OK.

What size tyres have you got on them? Thinking about changing mine when 35s go on if they work well.

Only been testing on road with 235/85/16's which are about 32's.I'll let you know after this weekend how they go with 35's.

Dave,thanks again mate.
Cheers Eric.
