The trick is to use the right suppliers, we did and last year two such kits came into Cape Town by courier, not a cheap fix but the quality speaks for its self.
Note the special long wheel studs.
There are a few tricks, nothing much, you can fit the parts on the bench easier but you can also do it direct to the car as well.
The mount plate is a part of each kit, you will need to supply a 10mm high speed drill bit yourself,use it at low speed to drill the two 8mm holes out or you will burn out the drill. The existing suspension parts have been bead blasted clean and spray painted with Hammerite smooth black paint.
Note the special long wheel studs.
Note the white plastic peg or hook in the center of the hub, thats the speedo drive found on the near side or left hand side of the car.
With front disc brakes and rear drums you will not require a servo, it is said that the sport Imp 0.7 master cylinder works better with discs but a road going car done recently with the standard size cylinder feels just fine.
How hard can this be.

Hi Roy, Which discs are these, and what's the single pot caliper from?
ReplyDeleteI have discs on all corners on the Davrian Mk 4, using alloy Girling 2 pots, which are very light at 1.3 kg but have no dust seals. I have a hydraulic handbrake system, and brake and balance bar pedal box using .70 Girling master cylinders
I need to source 4 new calipers for a Mk 78 Davrian I'm now rebuilding.
