Chicken Drumstick Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Does anyone know if the X-Brake for a Disco 1 is the same or different to that for a 90? (200Tdi in both cases/LT-77). Foundry 4x4 have listings for both with different part numbers, but the images look the same. So I'm seeking confirmation on if they are or aren't. Also, has anyone had any success fitting these to an 88 coiler? Is there any reason why they wouldn't fit? I've seen a listing for a Terrafirma disc handbrake, anyone know anything about these, they seem to be substantially more expensive than the X-Brake. Thanks.

Dave W Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The difference is in the angle of the backplate from memory. On the Disco the calliper is mounted in a different place to clear the body. No reason why they wouldn't fit to an 88 inch, it's a shame you don't gain any extra length for the rear prop shaft by changing them !

Bowie69 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yup exactly, different angle and calliper position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Any idea which would be better on an 88 coiler? Not sure if the seat box would be in the way or not if going for a Disco one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Your rear cross member is in the way (depending on where you fitted your gearbox). I did fit one to mine, but it was a bit involved. Have a look on my thread, page 8. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your X-Brake a Disco or Defender one? Do you have a photo of the underside of your 88? And what chassis is it based on. I don't have a pic of mine to hand, but there appears to be loads of space on mine. I just hope I'm not being a bit dim and missing something obvious. Ta.

Daan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Mine is a defender one I believe (bought on sodbury sortout, but I am pretty certain it is). The chassis is a shortened defender 90. I have not many piccys available right now of the complete thing. The crossmember is my own addition though. it is 89", with a standard 88" rear prop at the back, and an early 90 rear prop at the front, to give you an idea about gearbox location. chassis pic, with my old disk brake setup: Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Many thanks. Yeah I think I have a lot more room on mine. So should make fitting an X-Brake a little easier. Cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
