Hi There<br>
I have a Sprint and I am looking for a rear disc brake conversion. Does anyone know if these are made and if so by who<br>
<br>
Many thanks<br>

No off the shelf conversion

Hi Lee, I'm afraid that there is no off the shelf rear disk conversion. The rear drum brakes are more than up to the job - hence the limiting valve to stop the rears locking up.<br>
Some people drill the drums to help cooling, but most find that the rears cope pretty well.<br>

Plus the fact ALG1K is using a Toyota rear axle.<br>
