Land Rover , home grown disc brake conversion , Machining

Steps to machine Hubs, spacer plate & caliper bracket .
Video is 8x real time = approx 1hour machining or 4 hours for a 4 wheel disc brake kit . plus time any correcting runout issues on Indian hubs

I really like that you show how quick and efficient simple old lathes and mills can be. Essentially most of this is thanks to using the equivalent of Go,NoGo gauges and jigs

[@qfogarty]

Pretty much, but what you dont see in the video is the DRO on the mill, It helps ..... a lot. .

[@NathanNostaw]

@@qfogarty I assumed there was a dro, as the movements were way to fluid for reading of the handles.

Myth busted!! Another good job done. It has bothered me for a while now on the best way to convert to disc brakes for my series III. Because I want to keep things simple because of where I live (parts availability issues) I will have defender calipers hence defender brake pads. Shame the series wheels will have to go. The other video on why the series wheels won't work is also very useful. Thank you very much.

Nice work Don, I didn't realise you had a channel I just subscribed

[@germanrivera4885]

Nice job! Would you sell me the blueprint for the main plate?

[@davidmarsden7623]

Hi Does this setup fit behind a standard series wheel? or do you still need to go to a Wolf, Disco etc wheel ?

[@qfogarty]

Afraid its Wolf or D1 etc, this vide explains why kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4DGknlqhMqfptksi=Mrjh9ez1SmGrpYpd

Nice work Don, what discs and callipers do you use?. Thanks for posting
