If you're asking which of those 4 brake upgrade kits to go for first you need to have standard discs already fitted

Those are conversion kits if you already have disk brakes, if you have drum brakes you need to look at;

So you get the swivel hubs as well.

One other thing you'll need to change is the rear wheel cylinders. It's likely you have 3/4" ones on there now. if going for the 7.5" Brakes then fit a 5/8" rear wheel cylinder, if the 8.4", then 11/16" RWC. It's to stop the rear brakes from locking up.

Don't forget Doug.... Before you start in the garage, while the wheels are still on.... Slacken the castle nuts on the outer end of the driveshaft

Thanks for the info Nigel.

I am compiling a list of does, don'ts and how to's for the chap who will be doing it.

BTW what does the 'circling' on the outer end of the driveshaft that should be renewed look like?
