Re: Rear disc brake kit for my Buggy
Hi John, if you don't mind I would like to take a couple of dims of the caliper bracket, as I have the same hubs but the bracket I have doesn't quite fit and need to make another up, or modify it.
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

Let me know when you want to come through to take a look.
I am planning on fitting the kit this week end.

Re: Rear disc brake kit for my Buggy
That's not bad for under R4k. I think my calipers alone were about R2.5k.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Re: Rear disc brake kit for my Buggy
I've been looking around for a bolt-on kit for a while. The other day Garrin at Volkspares told meEmpi had the complete kit on special for R3,400. 
Obviously my check card was out in a flash.
As you can see the kit consists of everything you need from the metal brake pipe onwards. Even the hand brake cables. The hand brake function is the main reason I went for the kit. I'm tired af battling with brake shoes and uneven hand brake function on the two rear wheels.
