tbeagley Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi all! Does anybody know if the brake back plates on a series 3 are the same as a hub braked Defender? I have a fully refurbished series 3 back axle but am missing the back plates. If they are the same, i am thinking of putting a Disco back axle into my Defender to get the discs & then fitting the back plates from the Defender to the series 3. Unless somebody has some back plates going spare Cheers for any info, Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4X4byV8 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 dont know about the swapping.... ive got a spare series 3 axle i could take the back plates off if you cant fit the defender ones. 10" leading+ trailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Terry. 10 = drum diameter leading & trailing refers to the way the brake shoes operate when the brakes are applied. I shoe leads the application the other trails & is bought in contact by the drums rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
