hi cheers for the advice after thinking about it for long enough decided to go the weld on bracket route all sorted works fine thanks all

Cheers for the replys dont know which route to take but i now have 2 options thanks

hi if you do a disc brake conversion via the rr rear axle route make sure you get a later model axle with the shock mounts both facing the same way it saves a lot of work dont know about change over years though?

Hi all happy new year came to fit my rr rear axle for my disc brake conversion on 84 defender but have noticed the os shock absorber mounting bracket is on the rear of the axle is this normal or is it someones cockup on welding a new mounting onto the axle there dosent seem to be any sign of an old bracket that has been changed or cut off and the disc protector all bolts to it as well if this is the norm can you buy the brackets or do you cut the old one off a reweld cheers

hi have you tried adrian flux ?

thanks for the advice cheers

hi doing the same on a 200tdi i read on the forum somewhere that someone used a fullwidth cooler from a citroen xantia might well be worth a look at your local breakers for one hope this helps cheers

hi all hope christmas was a good one one small query just got a disc braked rear axle to convert my 90 stripped the discs off to clean up can anyone tell me do you tighten up the 2 nuts that hold the disc on against the wheel bearing tight then back off or leave them tight before bending the lock washer cheers
