Sorry mate, they are not for bedfords :)

That was a brake conversion I made for my Celica. Honda S2000 rotors, Mazda RX7 4 pot calipers and custom brackets.

I will however be looking at doing some thing similar for the bedford ;D

We do all kinds of brake upgrades catering mainly for race/rally cars so a kit for the likes of a bedford will be no problems.

mate that would be sweet, the HQ disc conversion is good but you are restricted to HQ stud pattern, was talking to the boys at the melbourne beddie meet and some suggested doing a ford front disc conversion and using a ford diff to give matching stud patterns and of course a much wider variety of wheel choice. Would any later model conversions be engineered from your end?

The first brake kit I come up with will be in a Ford pattern, so if that's what you want, you're in luck ;)

Any kits we build will easily pass engineering but I believe we would need the van with the brakes fitted before supplying the blue plate.
