A few people have tried to do that Twiss but found that they are not powerful enough to work well as fiddles. It needs to be hydraulic really, I cant see cables lasting too long without stretching if used heavily.

Am I surprised that Rover parts turn out to be rubbish? No ;)

You can fit them to a road going truck scott, but they have to have their own system and calipers 8-)


Id be using them for the trials, tight turns ect. i drove a v8 rangerover thing :lame: with them on and they work well.


Twiss the rover calipers are shocking, they barley bring my sj to a halt :twisted:

ah you might be right there henry, always thought they just weren't allowed full stop but i just did a bit of reading into it! looks like i'll be fitting some fiddles to the sj in the near future then :smokin: well after everything else

They shouldnt be that hard. hardest part will be finding the right caliper :lol:

I remember reading that finding one to fit with the rover is hard, as the bled nipples need to be at the top (so you carnt mount it at the bottom) i think. but dont quote me :tongue:

The bleed nipples can be anywhere as long as you bleed the caliper off the vehicle, it's like running vitara calipers on an sj :thumbup: I'll just try some vitara ones, I'm sure hey'll be big enough for the weight of an sj and 33s

I think the problem with rangerovers is that they weigh so much you need a very big caliper like front 110 ones from what I've read.
