Hello, ItÂ´s interesting to analyze the installation of rear discs together with full floating axle conversion

www.zanfi.it/modules.php?name=catalog&fi...121&products_id=1061

Provides greater security at axle breaks. And prevents that the high clearance of rear bearing distancing the brake pads of the brake disc while driving increasing the brake pedal travel.

Probably a transfer brake like on the 410

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

The rover brake calipers that the kit is designed for have the handbrake mechanisum built into them, so you use the existing jimny handbrake cable and use the adapters in the kit to attach it. I've made my own version of this idea but used the calipers off the 2.5 v6 model and it works a treat, no more brake fade and failing handbrake after a hard day offroading in mud and water.
