hey shazbot intrested in a social day ? guys are starting to pm me for a date thinking about having another perth bugga day maybe when the weather warms up a bit and as we have a few southern guys might be good to head down your way?

You just want to see how many vans you can actually park on Shazbot's front lawn. 

I recommend that Shazbot counts her vans again after you guys have left just in case one mysteriously walks... 

I am told that there is room for many more,,,as long as they are parked the right way! hehehe

Howdy ,I have a van and my son has one
disc brakes got to luvem,I have done CRS kit and HQ discs but settled for hopper stoppers .we talked to peter at hopper stoppers and he made the first bedford kit in OZ.Machined the  hubs to fit bedford stubs through to all hardware ,lines,with 300mm rotors and 4 pot calipers they are sic .plug and play is the way to go

(email i got back from hunterbynature,s  brake mod link. after asking if the stub can be machined.)

Yes we do a Bedford brake upgrade, it needs minimum 15 inch wheels in Holden or Ford pattern. Cannot do original Bedford pattern as the PCD is too big.

 

Kits are $1350 with smooth rotors, $1450 slotted rotors, $1500 drilled and slotted. This uses original Bedford wheel bearings etc and bolts to standard unmodified stub axle.

Kit includes conversion hubs, bearings seals grease caps, DBA rotors off BA ford drilled from blanks for Holden pattern, PBR twin piston calipers off AU3 Ford, all mounting brackets spacers bolts and hoses.

You also need a 1 inch tandem master and adapter plate which we have at $320. You will then need to make new lines from the chassis to the master cylinder as the fittings are different.

 

We have seen the older method of machining the stub axle down to take Holden or Ford wheel bearings but I have been told of stub axles breaking and the DOTARS rules specifically say reducing stub axle diameter is forbidden so we won’t do it.

Thanks Marty, that should make it crystal clear!
