Rear discs...
OK, starting to lose the plot now...
I bought the RD Hydra-mech rear disc conversion kit. I knew I wouldn't need all the bits as I have disc-braked sierra shafts, hubs, carriers
etc.
I've come to try it on the car today and the disc goes nowhere near. The bell is too small.
I thought I would check the calipers for fit in the wheel and they won't either. In the catalogue it is listed at a sierra wishbone kit but when
I've checked my order acknowledgement I noticed that it has "(drums)" on it. I will call RD tomorrow and see if they will take it
back or if not I will have the full conversion kit, cable and spare pads up for sale soon!!
Now for the question - I'm on an XR4x4 LSD, bolt-on shafts, disc type bearing carriers and flanges are roughly 150mm diameter and I'm on
14" wheels - What are my options for something that will bolt on with the minimum of b*ggering about now?
Thanks in advance.

You might try escort Mk3 front discs, they have a deeper bell, westfields use them on the back, however from experience you might have to turn down
the hubs slightly to fit inside the discs, and even then i can't guarantee your calipers will line up without some fiddling.

Just to clarify - It's the diameter of the bell that's an issue at the moment. I need something around 150mm.
