Hi there all, I had an interesting conversation with a guy today. I was talking to a guy that works for George Stock and Co. in Auckland about ball joints that I had bought from them (in a post I made about front suspension). Turns out that they had given me the wrong size and while we were sorting that out he said that he used to work for a company that did 202 engine conversions on Bedfords that were being built as ambulances over here. The other part of the conversion that they did was to convert them to disc brake front ends. They simply did this by fitting HQ discs. Not just the discs but they fitted the HQ top and bottom arms, hubs, calipers and all! Straight bolt on he said!

Does anyone know of this being done or even done it themselves?

I have an Ambulance (factory fitted) disc set up it is not holden, Bedford stud patten, and no way use's holden parts. Holden has been used for years to convert to disc set up but is not  bolt on as this person said as far as I know, Maybe my van had the Mk 2 disc setup put on it as it is a 81 they changed half way through this year I think?

I had an 84 with drums. I think it was part way through 84 that the mk 2 came out.
I was chatting with a guy who had the job of uprating the ambulances, and he said that the hubs and discs (and stubs?) from a top model Holden (I forget the name now)  bolted straight on.

I have fitted mk2 discs on mine and that truly is bolt on... they work well too.
