I dunno if it can be done, but how about fitting the brakes from one of the larger/heavier Landcruisers?

Would one of these help??

mmmmm,thats a point vince i will have to look into that option,i was thinking of machining grooves in to the disc and cross drilling them.and see if they do a harder compound for the pads.

no they wont help,they just weigh me down,parachute maybe.

I think so, 'cos Lucky used to have 'cruiser wheels on his 2nd gen.

Just looking for it. Remember seeing it somewhere.

right if thats the case then all i have to do is find out the diameter of the cruiser discs and find out if they will fit in the space available.

Drop a PM to Roger (Gamedawn) , as he has a rear disc kit fitted .
This will not improve braking except for off road use to stop drums filling with mud .
I think the Landcruiser option maybe best but you would need to up the size of wheels to clear the calipers .
