^^^ Has anyone fitted this combination? I was looking at this website where a 101 short bellhousing LT95 has been used and it all seems to fit quite well. I just wondered if any one else had done this. The LT95 seems to be quite strong enough to handle the V8 torque (rangerover standard fitment I believe). Yes I know its permanent 4x4, thats why I have a Stage 1 V8 front axle ready to go in Any other ideas for fitting V8's to series whilst still keeping the recessed front and not chewing gearboxes every 5 mins would be welcome. Thanks

Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can find. I work in the automotive manufacturing industry, previously on production line test equipment (wheel alignment & roll test) now on robotic welders etc. so I know the trouble the manufacturers go to (or not ) to get a parts just right. As I see it as long as you use a disk from an equivalent type or weight of vehicle and bolt it to the hub with the right size and type of bolts determined by... hit wrong button there! Where's edit - Oh here we go... ...what LR used on the defender etc. then you shouldn't have any problems. That only leaves the caliper choice and the mounting bracket. A bracket made out of 10mm steel plate is going to be stronger than the cast lugs on the RR swivel housing so no problems there & 110 calipers are well up to the job if not a little OTT. I like the simplicity of those willwood calipers, which ones are they? Thanks again, (pressing the right buttons but not necessarily in the right order )

Any news on those Toyota disks??? I'd love to put disks on my series 2A. I have a stage 1 front axle waiting for it and hopefully a V8 engine to suit I already have a late series 3 dual circuit servo master cylinder fitted, will that be OK running front disks? Cheers,
