Another source of bedford bits is Bedford Manour in Brisbane, do a search here and ebay and you should find him.

Ben, i didnt realise the smaller stubs didn't require modifications to the disc rotors when using a conversion.

The larger stubs as far as i know are LWB right thru, and all vans from 1975 or 1976 onwards.

Steve, my stubs will be different to yours however can be used with standard HQ discs. They are currently being used, however once i get some new rotors and have them machined to fit my other stubs (the ones i showed you) then my current ones will be available even if only to get you to the van nats ;)
My current ones are the larger type machined down, I am fairly certain

Cheers Matt, I think I'll probably miss the Nat's at this rate.  I'll keep looking for another stubb axle or maybe will have to machine down a thicker one myself.  Anybody know who can do this?
Who says a bedford can't drift??

dont machine stub axels. they can potentially break., i know 2 people that have broken stub axels (both at slow speeds thank god!) and the cause is most likely because of this. you know what they say "dont machine stub axels"
