mcc1979ian Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Evening chaps, while since Iv been on. Years ago I bought an x eng disc brake for a 90 project which years later is still a very slow burning project. Today I robbed it for my 90 that’s actually on the road. Tonight Iv fitted it but I had a struggle getting the cable to meet. Eventually it’s met but it’s very tight, to the point I can’t even get 1 click on the lever. Iv also fitted a Discovery handbrake lever which might alter the adjustment a little. Is it possible I need to install the Disco cable or is there another way of adjusting the caliper?

western Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 See page 4 in https://foundry4x4.co.uk/pdf/X Eng at Foundry 4x4 X-Brake Defender Instructions.pdf you might need to adjust the lever the cable connects too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcc1979ian Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Ahh, I tightened up the big bolts too early, that could allow a little movement if I undo them a redo. Also the centre of my caliper dosent have a bolt and stake washer thingy as such. Mines one o the early ones wi just a torque headed bolt through it. I tried loosing it but then again it was all copied up by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It might need moving on the spline of the caliper shaft. I'm sure mine did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Slacken off the torx bolt & move the lever 1 or 2 splines as the instructions say, lever inwards toward centre of the vehicle. also Disco cable is shorter than the 90/110 cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
