Parking Brake Conversion Kit For Offroad Use DA5513 For Land Rover Defender 90 And 110 Rest-Of-World Models, 1983 - 2016

Product Details

At long last - a heavy-duty, sealed parking brake for offroad use that keeps mud out!

Driving off-road you'll know how easy it is for the standard Land Rover Defender parking brake to get mired with dirt... and once the mechanism gets clogged up, it doesn't work as efficiently as it should. We now have a solution to that problem - a drum-to-disc parking brake conversion kit.

These kits use powerful calipers with sealed mechanisms to prevent mud from getting in. All components are coated with a tough corrosion-resistant coating of gold zinc passivate to ensure a long life. Installation is easy requiring only simple tools. Complete installation instructions are included as well as advice on adjustment and use.

The disc transmission brake uses a state-of-the-art, monster-sized mechanical caliper designed for agricultural vehicles and earth-moving equipment - so using it on a Land Rover is easy work for it. The mechanism is sealed so it will not seize up from mud or water corrosion and it uses special 'sintered' pads which are resistant to abrasion from mud and provide greater friction against the disc than a standard pad. The disc has been specially designed for Land Rovers and manufactured from tough 10mm thick steel. It has a smaller diameter than a standard drum and so does not dangle below the transfer box which helps to protect it from whatever you are driving over. The caliper mechanism sits in a well-protected area at the top, away from most of the mud and water.
