Scimitar axle 4ha disc conversion

[johnd]

Hi

I have a scimitar axle, want to do a disc conversion on it, what do i need? Any guides or info?

Cant seem to find a great deal on google

I think there's at least one on v8 church - may be something on scimitarweb too? I have one you can look at if you're nearby (but I didn't do the work) - IIRC it's VW calipers and a Rover 800 disc?

Did this a few years ago.



From what I remember I used Calibra rear discs and Sierra rear calipers. Brackets were home made and welded in situ once the offset of the disc was established.

See everything i find is mix match with no real guide lol

There's no off the shelf solution if that's what you're looking for and there's lots of ways to skin this cat.

Here's one - www.scimitarweb.co.uk/sgwrs/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8649&p=187089&hilit=Disc#p187089

Apparently there may be an off the shelf solution - check this thread www.scimitarweb.co.uk/sgwrs/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=18067&hilit=Disc+conversion+Rear and give Iain Daniels Motorsport a bell.

Edit - sorry that's in the members archive but Google Iain Daniels Motorsport.

What more info do you need? Remove original drum and brake shoes, cut off old back plate, drill Calibra discs to stud pattern and fit, obtain Sierra calipers, make bracket to hold caliper in the correct place as in picture. Hardly rocket science...😄
