Vehicle & Technical > Defender
X-Brake
Boddle:
Wouldn't have thought this a problem on defender as the calliper fits above the disc rather than to the left side in the case of Disco and RRC. Fitted one at the weekend was fun, Was interesting as the instruction seem to be for the original design but we manage it anyway.

Les - the inlet pipe to the hydraulic PTO pump comes across to the PTO from the o/s chassis rail, and into the top of the pump, it was the pipe getting a bit in the way, not the actual pump !

As above - the inlet pipe on the PTO pump caused a little bit of grief, but nothing serious. The caliper on mine sits over at a slight angle towards the offside, yet the instructions hint that it should sit on top of the disc......unless I put the backplate on wrong :oops:..........I fitted the backplate with the disc guard tab parallel to the ground, I could rotate the plate anti-clockwise, and then the caliper would sit on top the disc, but then the guard tab would no longer be guarding the disc :-.

Don't think you can put it on the wrong way as the 4 bolt hole don't form a square when the guard is at the bottom the caliper sit at about 11'o'clock when you look at it. which sound as though yours is in right position.
Have a look at x_eng sight there is something about PTO's

Doesn't hold my 110 on anywhere near 45deg slope.
