Yeah, I know what you mean about not cobbling something together!!! I was just curious on what options were available that was all, didn't know if it was possible to work something out with Defender hubs and discs?
As for my Landy its a Turner 2.25 Petrol and has twin leading 11" shoes, which apart from being a touch squeelly when first used, are actually very good. It's only when they get wet or filled with mud, that they become brown trouserish!! That's why I was considering the disc conversion.
If there was a way of sorting the randomness of them after getting them full of water or mud, I'd consider that?
