Brake conversion

Post by Shane1964 »

Hi all, does anyone know what is needed to do a front brake conversion from the drum brakes to disc brakes on a traveller. I have been told that the parts are from a ford but what ford I don't know. Has anyone got any suggestions what I need and what to do. Thanks

The easiest, cheapest and what I consider a good conversion kit is to fit the Grumpy's Morris Marina disc brake conversion kit from ESM.

I have the Marina conversion kit on my Minor and it has proved it worth over some considerable time.

I agree completely with the above, have been using the Marina based conversion for over 30 years and found it simple to fit and completely reliable.
