Rear disc conversion SJ413
Rear disc conversion SJ413
hi people, im looking into doing this conversion, i have seen some rover 800 calipers on the bay. Item number: 290667085261 it says on the listing that all i need are some standard sj front discs is this true, or do i need the mounting brackets i have seen on other post, this is my first SJ so any help would be much appreciated thanks Andy

Hi Andy,
If you sj is a 413 it should have the t box handbrake fitted, in which case you can use front sj calipers and discs with a special mounting plate. I used muddyzook kit, it was good but in hind sight i should have painted the kit.
If you haven't got the T box handbrake you will need the 600/honda accord callipers, and the handbrake kit from muddyzook. For this kit you also need the twin handbrake cable set up. Hope this helps.

Hello and to the club Andy.
I'm new to SJ's but this was the first thing I did to mine.. There are some pictures on my build thread which might be helpful?
I think there is also a write up in the diy section.
Let us know how you get on

Re: Rear disc conversion SJ413
I'm probably doing rear disc conversion next weekend...
I think I will be using SJ calipers and fitting a 410 prop brake
That way you only have to carry around 1 type of brake pads

Re: Rear disc conversion SJ413
I dont suppose they fit on the standard SJ caliper mounts?
