MGB rear axle conversion to disc brakes?
I'm currently thinking of swapping out my shortened SD1 axle for an original MGB, but I don't want to run drun brakes. Has anyone converted such an axle to disc brakes, if so what did you use?
RIP MGB V8 .... served me well as a learning curve.

When you do fit them, switch the bleed nipple to the top outlet to assist bleeding.
They were probably oriented at 1 o'clock not 3 o'clock on the original car.

Looks good, what calipers are they and what diameter/thickness disc are you running?DaveEFI wrote:chodjinn wrote:I'm currently thinking of swapping out my shortened SD1 axle for an original MGB, but I don't want to run drun brakes.
