Post by **jed the spread** » 07 Jun 2006, 14:15

are there stock parts from other vehicles that can be put onto a t25s back end to make them have disc breaks.only someone was asking and it made my ears prick up.

I'm sure I've seen a conversion kit advertised...

Saw some vans with discs allround at Vanwest, have heard it's an expensive conversion. Would look nice with your alloys though Jed.

£570 for the rear disc conversion.

THink they are based in Bristol not too far from me.

Have seen their green van about, and got a wave.

Improve the fronts first, thats what VW did in South Africa.. even with 2.6L 5 pot Audi engines inthe back.. unless you have even more power!!!

how do you go about improving the fronts?

SA spec calipers and discs? Where and how much?

I got my discs changed last november, and they are already warped again.

I have a panel van usually carrying 250-500kg of stuff in the back.

Cheers,

Steve

It's because you drive like such a hooligan, Steve.

I've not met anyone else who needs a Recaro seat to hold them in place in a T25.

What were the discs? Genuine or cheapo?

Live on the edge is what I say. Recaro for me, bench seat for my wife and kid!

Discs were probably from GSF. Don't know the brand, I never fitted them.

Cheers,

Steve

Or I did see the complete SA front Vented Brake upgrade the other week. New Calipers, Discs and caliper carriers, er about £300 it worked out...

Its certainly on my list. Somewhere near the bottom though as I am suitably impressed by my vans stopping with good stock brakes (mind you it never really gets up to frigthening speeds)

You don't have to stop the amount of tat it would appear Jed (photo in sig) has to stop, mind.

Question from Canada. How (exactly) did you wire the aux lights? BTW your van looks boss!

they are just put onto the main beam.i should have them on a separate switch really but it seems to get the attension of other t25s when i give them a flash

and are great for getting cars out of the way down dark country lanes in the dark.i can just picture a fella saying to his mrs as ive just passed,"bugger it was only a campervan"
