This conversion replaces the standard drum handbrake with a disc.

The disk has been specially designed for Land Rovers. It is made from tough 10mm thick steel. It has a smaller diameter than a standard drum and does not dangle below the transfer box to help protect it from whatever you are driving over. The caliper mechanism sits in a well protected area at the top, away from most of the mud and water.

The operating cable passes between the exhaust heat-shield and the floor above. Fitting is a bit tight, and it may be necessary to bend the corner of the heat shield out of the way a little.

If your vehicle is not fitted with the exhaust heat-shield - you MUST fit one otherwise the heat from the exhaust will melt the cable!


Please note : If your handbrake cable goes straight into the drum brake housing, instead of connecting to an external lever you will need to replace the cable with the earlier type.

We would recommend to change the cable while you have it in pieces.
