fezzy192:
i have a drum back axle on my 90 and have got myself a disco back disc axle but i have been told

if i change i will have to change the axle i will have to change the bios of the brakes and master cylinder is this true????



many thanks kev

mud-club-matty:
 when i swaped my axle to a disco one from drums i pulled on axle off  bolted the other one under and conected and bled the brakes and it works fine

burgerman:
 Same as above for me also

kizz81:
just fitted mine, DOESNT TAKE 4 HOURS!!!!!!!! as some say, make good differance, and its not to bad a job

Range Rover Blues:
Disco and RRC have a deceleration valve on the inner wing below the master cylinder, or you could fit one of the load sensitive brake bias valves found under the back of Transits (kit-cars use them to make bias brake systems).

But as for the master cylinder, I doubt it.  They all have the same bore for primary and secondary circuit so unless the Defender has a different bore to the Disco altogether you can keep the one you have.
