Thread: What to look for in a Isuzu 110/Stage 1?

You need to machine a bracket (or 3) to mount a caliper to the series swivel housing (much larger than a coiller housing). I have seen a couple of (well engineered) home-made conversions, using RRC front calipers (slightly smaller than 110) modified for single circuit operation.

You also need to fit extended, high-strength studs to the top and bottom of the swivel housing to mount the brackets to. Not sure if the studs are available off the shelf.

Once you have a caliper mount fabricated and fitted, the rest is a bolt-on job.

EDIT - the conversion would need to be engineered if you wanted to keep everything legal.

Discovery series I calipers are the same as RRC calipers but only single circuit. Of course there's a bit of variation through the years, I have seen dual circuit discos too.
