Handbrake Conversion Kits
Driving off-road you’ll know how easy it is for the standard Land Rover hand brake to get bunged up with dirt and once the mechanism gets clogged up it doesn’t work
as efficiently as it should. Britpart now offer a solution to that problem - a drum to disc conversion kit. These kits use powerful calipers whose mechanism is sealed to
prevent the access of mud. Parts are supplied coated with a tough corrosion resistant coating of gold zinc passivate to ensure a long life. Fitting is easy requiring only
simple tools. Full fitting instructions are included as well as advice on adjustment and use.
