Morning All,
I'm Luke from Rotherham, i joined a month back while browsing
the net for series disk brake conversions (still planning to do
this) but recently came across some of Stephen Patchett's videos
on youtube which led me back to here - so i thought i'd post a
hello
My landy is a Series 3 109 with a 300TDI and quite a few other
mods (not one for rivet counters), been 'restoring' it for a few
years now and it's very close to actually seeing the road, i
plan to use it as it should be so it's not a minter but i have
done a chassis up rebuild so rare for a landy it now has no
rust.

Welcome to the mad house. If you can, put up some pictures of
your rebuild project for us all to admire.
I have discs on the front of my 109 and I'm about to fit them to
the rear ( when the kit arrives ) too. Where are you planning to
buy your kit from?
All the best for 2018.
Jimmy

Boo dude welcome along. Just as long as you enjoy the motor and
get to drive it soon that's all that matters and another one is
saved from the scrap yard.

how have you done yours?
i haven't decided yet if i can find a reasonably price kit that
looks ok i'll go with that but i am in the engineering trade so
i have the ability to make some if need be

hello and welcome along! I also have disks on the front, such a
difference in the way it stops, even compared to a well set up
system.
I used the Wild Industries brackets and machined the hubs
myself, if you search this forum for something along the lines
of "disk conversion DIY style" you'll find a post by the
username 'Wild'... although I don't think he is making the kits
any more.
Anyway, welcome! Rock

Both my kits are from Zeus Enginering. As Tom said, The
stooping difference is Black and White. Only reason I'm changing
the rears is because of the inferior quality brake shoes on the
market.
