bishbosh Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Can't help with the caliper bit, but a quick google of the part number confirms it as a LR part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yes, that is a part number (sorry for the delay in answering... i don't venture into these parts that often, it's all big and scary!) I've got a couple of rangie calipers at home, i'll offer one up to the axle brackets and see if they fit, but i'm 99% sure that they do, i recall when i was doing the conversion on mine that i tried several different calipers (RR rear, defender front early and late). not sure how it'll measure up though if you use the rangie calipers, depends on the "offset" of the disc, i can't remember what the offset of the calipers is like, but you might be ok using rangie discs and calipers. the only way is to bolt the lot together and try really... it only takes minutes to whack the lot roughly together. you won't be able to use rangie calipers with proper 110 discs though... the discs are quite a lot thicker than standard rangie or 90 rears, they're almost as thick as vented 90/110 fronts. big ol' buggers they are!
