redben101 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I have recently fitted range rover axles to my 90 and have since found that a pair of disco calipers i had do not fit the range rover front wheel/hub assembly. Basically what i need to find is a pair of caliper that the imperial equivalent of a 11mm bolt and are spaced correctly to fit a RR front wheel/hub assembly. Would early 110 calipers work?

jbs Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Range Rover front callipers perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redben101 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 i have a pair of RR calipers currently, but they use the twin pipe system which i dont want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyLee Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 can`t you block one of the inputs , I have seen them T`eed in using two pipes but have always wondered whether you can just remove one pipe and run on single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 There are single pipe versions avaliable on Rangy's...a friends 88 is on a shortened rangy chassis and uses the rangy axles for the disk brakes. They are single pipe, and new, 1974 vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 A mate of mine's old hybrid had the twin piped callipers on it and one of them on each calliper was blocked off before he got it-still work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksmelly Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 If it's just that the mounting holes are too small, drill them out. Thats what I did on my bobtail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 A mate of mine's old hybrid had the twin piped callipers on it and one of them on each calliper was blocked off before he got it-still work fine The AP Lockheed calipers were drilled in such a way that two opposing pistons were fed by each hose. You'd only get full efficiency by internally linking the pots after dismantling the calipers and drilling through. Otherwise there would be no dual circuit in operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redben101 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Thanks for the info gents. So would i do best to try and find a RR brake master cylinder then, which would allow twin pipe brakes on the front or fit different single pipe calipers?
