So I'm still looking for the right car and have found a P400 which seems to tick most of the boxes. The build sheet says DISC BRAKE SIZE FRT 19/RR 19. My understanding is that means:
front brake discs diameter 363mm, rear diameter 350mm As I do a fair bit of off-roading, I want 18" wheels. Except that it appears you can't fit an 18" rim to a P400 because it has the larger calipers. Is that right? The solution to this seems to be either 1. shave down the caliper as shown here : https://landroverforums.com/forum/2020-def...ro-109068/ 2. Fit a smaller caliper using a kit like this https://lucky8llc.com/products/rear-caliper-conversion-kit ARE THESE BOTH SAFE? Are they just crazy Yanks? |

Tuff Ant the alloy wheel manufacturer in Australia 🇦🇺 have had the rear caliper swap
to enable their 18” alloys to fit, fully tested and signed off by the Australian Design Regulator (ADR). They spec another set of Land Rover rear calipers (I believe off a D5) which have the same specs and stopping power as the originals fitted to the D300/P400 models, but the right shape to enable the 18” to fit. Had the conversion done on my P400 14 months ago and noticed no difference, even when dragging an off road caravan.. might be worth pinging Tuff Ant on their LR OEM brake caliper conversion Click image to enlarge yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |
