90 rear brakes

(1/3) > >>

Matt_H:
I'm just about to do a deal on a nice looking 90 hopefully...  I noticed the rear brakes on 90s seem to be drum.  Can they be converted to disc easily?

I happen to have a discovery axle sat on my drive - are any of the parts any good for a conversion?

Jim-Willy:
Buy a newer one.  Mine is disks allround but the brakes are still ribbish.

Unbolt the current axle on the 90 and replace with the Disco axle currently on your drive... straight swap.

Part way through 'L' reg they switched to disks all round. Later 200's are therefore disks all round.

instead of doing the whole axle - can I just swap the axle ends?  Got a feeling the 90 I'm looking at has new cases/pans and drive shafts etc.

is there also any brake biasing that needs to changed or be removed?
