Hey mate.
Just wondering the dimensions of your space case you use? And is it the arb one?

Yeah the ARB ones but you can get them almost anywhere now for cheaper. The ones I use are the 900Lx550Wx380D roughly

Yeah I thought so. I just put a tray on and I reckon they are a good size.
Thanks man.

Are you able to share what the parts list consists of to do the rear disc conversion?

Butt Craic wrote:Are you able to share what the parts list consists of to do the rear disc conversion?

It's all still in the works mate but this will be the first rear disc conversion to suit 05+ rear housing by buds customs that I know off.

Parts list will include:
Set of calipers & rotors ( my case, GU)
Custom laser cut bracket to suit the housing and bolt the caliper
New brake lines on rear to suit new caliper end
Custom bracket and caliper set up to mount to transfer and clamp disc on tail shaft ( new hand brake)

This Is obviously a lot of custom machining and fabricating to get to work on this housing. The only standard item is the rear GU calipers and rotors.

Sweet thanks!

Hey Toddie - you ever get worried the XROX bar doesn't give enough protection for the front lower parts, suspension etc?

I don't have an xrox anymore mate, but when I did run it I wasn't worried no, in fact I liked the clearance it gave to the front corners.

Any updates on the performance of the disc rear?

Disc rear has changed the whole car mate, it now actually brakes

Will give a full update in a week or so when the full set up is finished completely, hand brake ect.
