Hi.

I would like to convert my sierra rear axle on my robin hood to disc brakes. Can anybody tell me what parts i want to be looking out for on ebay or the local scrap yard.

thanks

make some carriers as in the link above then use VW rear calipers, these are made of ali and are lighter. Seen on Ebay for around £60 each new sometimes.

Rally design also sell a nice rear caliper for the sierra which is ali, its pretty cheap too. I suspect that its a VW one though.

With that one you need 14" wheels, which is why i ended up with powerlites.
