Rear disc brake conversion

Been talking with the guys at TSM in Colorado.We had bought our front disc brake conversion for the R 100. I had tried to put a off the shelf drum conversion on the Dana 44 rear axle.Didnt stand a chance. Got ahold of these guys and they worked through the conversion making parts and swapping dimensions along the way. I now have 4 wheel discs with a mech. Parking brake on the rear.Ill try to post pics later.

Looks like they have the kit on their website now. Can anyone tell me did the R series use the same rear axle as the L series did?

Re: Rear disc brake conversion

TSM now offers a Rear Disc brake conversion on their site to go along with their front disc conversion for a "55"R 100. Talk to "Skip" he's very helpful. Sandusky (aw geez getting old sucks ! Same post as above only worded differently)
