hen's teeth and Mk2 discs

[Worzel]

does anyone have the Mk2 disc brake conversion, or more relevantly 
does anyone have the Mk2 disc brake conversion for sale?
I guess those mk2s are pretty rare (i don't think i've ever seen one)
I would be interested in buying a set or talking to someone who has them.
I understand that they are only came out with  5 stud rotors, is true?
Do they use the same stub axle, or is it a different beast?

I think only private imports came to Oz but NZ got them?? If any Kiwis have an old one kicking about I wouldn't mind getting here to Melbourne.

more mk2s cf2 than cf1s over here . more than you can shake a stick at . still sell for goood prices too considering there aint any spares produced anymore for them. the cf2 came with 5 stud up to the 250 range then 6 stud there after which was the 350 , 2.5 ton 250 , and 3.5 ton 350 lwb. i drive past a cf2 panel van,a cf2 box van and a cf2 pick up ( ute) every morning on the way to work , wedged firmley in a field.

Well Stumpy you had better get a set of 5 and 6 stud rotors, calipers and stubs over to here.
PM me with a cost.

Hmmmmmm, make that two sets, but i just have to buy a LWB, find a highway diff, and then i'll let you know if i want 5 or 6 stud.

today is sunday, ok, i'll let you know by tuesday

Seriously though,
Is it a different stub axle or just an adapter plate  mounted on the standard stub axle?
Same booster?
What's this ere 'delay valve" all about? (-half the UK site posts say it's cr@p, the other half say you need it)

looks the part

maybe someone can help me understand.
the six stud 350 range are the dualies right?
did the mark 2 six stud dualies come out with six stud disc rotors on the front?,
I'm finding a few different posts on the UK site that conflict.

I'm still looking for a LWB, i like the dual wheel look, i think brake fade sucks,and so does carrying two spare wheels

so (help me out here stumpy)

can i get bedford six stud disc brakes?  anybody know for sure?

[Worzel]

now i'm back where i started. Pretty sure that there is no such thing as a six stud disc rotor for a bedford van

BUGA!!

G'day

A few years ago there was a project V8 CF truck on ebay in Melbourne. He had fitted ventilated discs off a 1984 LWB Transit. I spoke to him about the conversion and he said that his mate had done it to a CFL van as well. I have spoken to another bloke who has done the conversion and used Volvo calipers. Transit and Volvo calipers are 4 spot but the Volvo are a LOT cheaper to service.
Early Transits are the same stud pattern as CFL's
Pre 1984 Transits are solid disc and while useable are not really a performance item.
Post 1984 Transits are a different stud pattern. I found out the hard way by buying a set of rims on ebay and driving to Sydney to pick them up. Waste of time and money.

I have CF2/MK2 original disc brakes on my Beddy, they are made by Lockheed. Picked them up in NZ by luck. Hard to find now I imagine, I've seen some for sale in the UK, though postage would be a killer.

i have hq rotors on mine,  but the bloke i bought it off said he did that to change the stud pattern to holden. i am sure i have seen the original hub assembly in my shop o sh1t somewhere but do you think i can find it...



wait, i got it. thanks to the modify button i am back. if anyone thinks a part number will help i can clean it up and try to read the chicken scratchings on here...
