Big brakes

Recommended Posts

As Chris said, they're Westfields alloy upright, (made by Hi Spec), the calipers are from a Land Rover Discovery II, rears I believe. They were used briefly by the factory when recon M16's were no longer considered viable on the new supplied cars, and before the WSC branded Hi Spec fronts started to appear.

Theres a thread somewhere with info on them, half a mo...

Through some 280 dia discs on and a set of Willwood midilights. They just fit in a 15 inch wheel with a few mm to spare and can stop on a button. Simply awesome.

What do you have at the rear brakes wise?   do you have two brake cylinders and a bias bar?

@SXRORY I'm not sure about the bias bar? Is that the normal looking type? Discs to the rear , 1 master cylinder? 

I had the same problem as you when i bought mine .... going to the floor and difficult to modulate. I have two cylinders and a bias bar so the brake pedal is pushing the two (front and back) via a bar on the pedal 

my rears were full of air (leaky drum cylinder ) so one was going to the floor and thus making fronts difficult to put any power into.  

but your not set up like that, but i suspect a good fluid change and bleed thorugh you' ll be right.  it was like a new car once I got the pedal back. 

Good luck
