Hey Warren, no mate i bought a set of blank rotors and had them drilled out to a HQ stud pattern. The front is also HQ disc brakes. The rotors were the only thing not ford, just the backing plate, callipers and pads. I am sure i have pics of the drum cover that we cut up to use as a spacer between the axel and backing plate. I will look and get the pics and post.

Hi George,   The brakes and the caliper I have got them worked out..  :)   The rotor will not fit over the end of the axle, had to turn it down to fit inside the rotor.   Had to turn it down that much that there was only half of the Bedford stud holes left  :'(  The only thing I can think of is that the diff I have is out if  a long wheel base single wheel model 97500 and the size of the axles are different????     
Did the HQ rotor fit straight over the axle then.

Hi Julian, my mechanic determined that my stud pattern was HQ all round, and when he bought the rotors blank, he told the engineering firm he got them from he wanted a HQ pattern drilled. When he turned up with them they went straight on, no hassell.
 Having said that, to this day we still do not know what sort of diff is in my van, while it was on the hoist he went over every millimeter of it and he could not find anything to identify it, it is a clean skin. [/color]  :o :o
We bought a HQ kit for the front, and i can tell you now, we had more problems with that then we did the back, so luck and experience was on our side with back brakes. Good luck Julan, sounds like yours is going to fight you all the way.
