RR brakes mixing with Disco brakes I NEED HELP!!!

[landyman Ash]

Okay, so I need some help with my hybrid

Got a RR hybrid with knackered brakes calipers all round....

Just bought axles off a 300tdi disco that are replacing the shot and rather tired RR axles

So, the disco axles have GREAT calipers on!  BUT.... they are single lines, not double as on the RR.

So the rears are easy (both are single lines) BUT what do I do with the fronts?  

Change the servo to single line disco one (not ideal as the RR is VERY modified to match the 90 servo)

Can I change the brake lines and et rid of some of the splitters?  

Fit a 90 servo?

Whats the thoughts????

the fronts on my V8 are double line, maybe source some earlier calipers?

[landyman Ash]

No, I want to use the Disco calipers are they are nearly brand new.  Trouble is they are only single line  :?

Think Im goig to put defender servo on

Really good mate, saw you heading to Nash, flashed my lights.  Will be living in Buckinham soon so I was driving from there to pick up the beast.

It was good, some 38 trucks turned up!!!!!  I found some serious mud that needed winching out off. Good day.

How was Nash (Whaddon?)  Bet it was great with all the rain!!!!

Simple bit of re plumbing should do the trick, Just do away with the lines that feed the front callipers that share the feed to the rears, so that you end up with one MC chamber feeding front the other feeding rear.

Thats what I wanted to hear!  I'll get some pipe and re-plumb.  Much easier and quicker I'd say!

Cheers Mike, thought it was poss so glad you confirmed it.

I'm not sure that's the sensible way to do it, the pistons in the MC are designed to move a certain amount of fluid, simply plugging up two of the brakes lines is not all that's involved.  The single line callipers are exactly the same as the duals except where the internal lines are drilled, what you will be doing is pushing much more fluid through the primary circuit than was anticipated by the designers.  I'm not going to say it won't work but I wouldn't be surprised.

Hmmm, had a feeling that was the case  :?

Been offered a 90 master cylinder?

That may be a better way of dealing with it??

Im lost  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Got a 90 master cylinder on the MuddyMoo - seems to be the way.

Defender callipers, same thing again, I've got a set and you can actually see the pilot for drilling the second set of pipe unions.  Go for the 90 master cylinder and plumb it up as a 90.

Yeah I think its better to be safe
