For not too much more than that My mate at Merrylands (Sydney) will do a 9 1/4" disc conversion drive-in drive-out. Thats what I have on my beast and they'll just about put you through the F@@king windscreen!!

I got mine rego'ed without an engineers certificate, I know not 100% legal but I'll need a certificate for some other things I'll do later so I'll get one then. I'm sure you'd have no trouble at all getting them engineered - they're an awesome job and look like they are meant to be there. The best bit is he uses a lot of standard parts - standard CV and wheel bearings etc so if anything DOES go, its easy to get parts for.

I have piccies of my brakes if anyone wants them email me.

Sorry to hijack your post Gareth, just thought this was relevant!!



Mate, can you show some piccies?

Whats the price? do i need 12 inch rims?

Also I'd PM nuclear_mini, he can get a Camira kit. Looks sweet.. :P but yes, these all do need 12" wheels or bigger.

Sorry I took so long - I've been very busy. I do have some pics somewhere, I'll have to dig them up for you.

His name Is Alan, and his business is called Truckstuff (long story!).
He is at Merrylands and his number is (02) 9681 5122

He is off for a couple of days with a crook back, so possibly wait until the end of the week before calling him.

His prices are very reasonable starting from about $800 drive in drive out depending on how many of your parts can be used in the conversion, but call Al for more details.

I'll get you some pics soon.

And I Know EXACTLY where he got his Drive flanges and "S" Drum "Spacers" . . . . . . he came around one day, waved a large wad of cash at me and took the LOT .....

Nice guy, I see him at every swap meet I go to (So, have you got any more of those drive flanges ?)

Hmmmm... so, are these using Mini drum type drive flanges (like with Hondas) or S ones (like nuke's Camiras)? :?

Ahhhh, it's all falling into place now. I knew he went to see a guy on the central coast for parts every now and then. Small world this.
