Idris Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Having read a few posts I thought that this was a bolt on job so as the discs and calipers on my 1989 110 were worn I decided that this was the time to go for it and replace solid discs with vented discs. Got the vented discs and the wider calipers. Well all seemed to bolt up fine, however the thicker areas on the inner edge of the hub where the studs are just catch the caliper. Is it not a straightforward process on this age of vehicle? Do I need different hubs? If so what from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Did that swap on my '89 110 years ago, didn't have any fitting problems, are the vented calipers new ? or what year vehicle have they come from ? might be worth adding a few pictures, so we can see the problem.

oddballrovers Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Hi We did that kind of upgrade in the 80'ies asfar as I remember we did use discs from RR's and made up a spacer to go between the two halfs of the caliper like one sees on several LR machines today.

western Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 all the part numbers check out OK, didn't change the hubs on mine, so you shouldn't need to either, not sure what to suggest to cure this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idris Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 How much clearance is there normally between the caliper and the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Photo's tiny and I can't see anything from that. We did an E reg 110 a few years ago, straight swap no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 See if you can compare the calipers to a set of proper Lockheed ones and see if there is any difference dimensionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I had exactly this issue using the part numbers you used, interference fit when tightened up, found a tickle wit the powerfile on the outside of the hub flange (where studs press through) and centre of caliper radius only sorts it out. around 0.8mm to 1mm clearance now. The calipers are rough castings and a tickle with the file should rub the casting to a more polished finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'll pop a front wheel off my 110 in morning & take some measurements/photo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It's probably those calipers, I found they were quite meaty, after the initial problems it was all fine until i tried to bleed the front and found a weep in between the spacer on the NSF new caliper under braking pressure.

Idris Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks everyone for your collective input. Will try some OEM calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
