1978 Santana 109 Disc brake conversion help
Greetings, I am finally getting around to improving the drivability of my Santana and would like to put a set of disc brakes on the front. I welcome any opinions from members here. I am running a 200tdi engine Lt77 combo and the drums were never sufficient and are now useless. I have 17" defender wheels so clearance should not be a huge issue. I like the look, cost, and simplicity of the Zeus Z1301 kit (Land Rover :: ZEUS FRONT DISC BRAKE CONVERSION KIT, Land Rover SERIES II & III - Low Stock -) but i can't get in touch with anyone at their contact info so i don't know if they are still in business. Other options i have found are much more expensive, but i believe this is becasue they account for clearance issues I won't encounter.
Thanks for your time

Disc brakes
I'm in the process of a V8 conversion on my Santana Series IIa. While looking at the disc conversions, I came to the conclusion that it would be less expensive to just buy a set of used Disco 1 axles with the brakes already installed. I'm also going to convert it to a coiler while everything is off the chassis.
