LOL, aye it does let water in faster than letting it back out.
Strange that.

Whatever you do, don't simply stick an 11" front end on without changing the master cylinder somehow......

mathinks the holes are bigger somehow in the LWB m/cyl which could lead to :oops: if you ain't carefull.......

imagine this...
1st pump - pedal to floor
2nd pump - pedal almost to floor
3rd pump - front brakes
4th pump - all brakes

Now try that when someone just pulled out on you :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :o  :o

mmmmm  I'd go for the servo and 109 master cylinder if I were you..

hobbit:
There is a conversion kit to disc brakes available, I think its a dutch company does it, not sure on the price now, was about 2-300 pounds, off the top of my head. But you would still need a servo in the system to run the upgrade

i actually tried this on my old series and although you have bigger drums there just aint enough fluid in the system, its more of a combination of 2nd and 4th scenario.

Use the Zeus disc conversion - no servo needed.  See the Aus distributor's site for details http://www.yican.com.au/DBrakes/DBrakes.html

I've done a couple of DIY conversions using 4 pot Hilux calipers and they work pretty well unboosted so long as you don't use stupidly hard brake pads.
