hydra brakes

Hi has anybody tried to fit hydra rear calipers to rear of there kit , I bought full kit from R & D to fit sierra drum based kit and no where near disks are no where near will not fit over hub calipers fit tight against uprights so unable to fit unions for brake lines has anybody else had these issues with this kit


what brakes have people used is it best to stick to sierra standards or has anybody tried the wilwood rear kit

When I ordered mine they made it very clear that the hubs need machining down to take the discs. Of course if you ordered straight off their website, you wouldn't know this!

The port for the brake union is pretty tight to my uprights too, I've got just about enough clearance with a set of new pads on (and they move apart as the pads wear or the brakes are applied). I guess that just depends on the design of your uprights though.
