Now you can install the latest Defender disc brake components onto your trusty 88” or 109” Land Rover and enjoy amazingly quick and controlled stopping power. Front kits are based on a new hub
assembly and new swivel ball housing, cast from ductile iron with a minimum strength rating of 80,000 pounds per square inch, this kit is an engineering masterpiece. The front caliper mounts are cast into the housings, just like Defender, to handle the massive 4 piston Defender calipers that grab 12 inch vented Defender discs, just like the NAS 90 enjoys. Timm’s rear conversion kit uses the same hub assemblies with solid Defender rear discs and 2 piston Defender rear calipers. Using all Defender brake components, as well as wheel bearings and seals, means easy service, easy parts availability in the future, and adds directly to the value of your Land Rover.

These kits are designed to work with an 88” or 109” dual power master cylinder available on Land Rovers manufactured from 1969 through 1984. For owners with early single non-power system master cylinders, you will need to convert to a dual power master cylinder. This conversion involves installing a vacuum port into your intake manifold, installing a dual power pedal box assembly which houses the dual master cylinder, vacuum servo unit and brake light switch. This pedal assembly is larger in size. It will require modifying your wing top, splashguard mount, and installing a Series III style splashguard. You will then need to re-plumb your clutch master, and install additional brake lines to complete the dual circuit.

You will also have the option of adding in a safety failure junction valve, with or without warning light, and choosing between hydraulically or mechanically activated brake lights. These parts can be found in our catalog or on our website in our Series III brake section. We also have available a good selection of second hand dual pedal box assemblies. Please contact us for assistance, and more information on improving your brakes. We’re here to help.

Our Timm Cooper Front Brake Conversion Kit includes 2 new front swivel housings with new seals and retainers, 2 new hubs with wheel studs, new hub bearings and seals, 2 new 4 piston front brake calipers, 2 new vented brake discs, new brake pad set, 2 new flexible brake lines, gaskets, all necessary hardware, and detailed instructions prepared by Timm Cooper. This is a bolt-on conversion that requires no drilling or fabrication.

Our Timm Cooper Rear Brake Conversion Kit includes 2 new hubs with wheel studs, new hub bearings and seals, 2 new rear brake calipers, 2 new solid brake discs, new brake pad set, 2 new caliper mounting brackets, gaskets, all necessary hardware, and detailed instructions prepare by Timm Cooper. This is also a bolt-on conversion that requires no drilling or fabrication.

  1. Hi

    To whom it may concern,

    I have a very special Land Rover Ambulance that I have travelled extensively around Australia filming documentaries dubbed The Message Stick.

    I am about to travel around Australia again with my wife Samantha Martin into the Outback filming a 13 part 1/2 hour documentary titled: The Bush Tukka Woman for FOX TV filming the last of the Aboriginal Cultures in remote places around the country.

    I would like to have disc brakes fitted to my 1961 Ex Army Ambulance Land Rover as Samantha will be doing most of the driving as the host of the film.

    I have had an enormous amount of press and publicity and have had over 200 famous indigenous artists paint on this one of a kind vehicle.

    We have Nelson Mandela’s hand prints on the vehicle and several very important people in the world who have made a difference for humanity.

    I would like request sponsorship off your company in the form of a set of your Disc Brakes for the journey as this would be in intricate part in the re-building of The Message Stick vehicle for the journey and a very important conversion as brakes will be put to the test in some of the conditions we will be going.

    I do understand that sponsorship is getting harder and harder to receive, our production company at Sacred Oz would endeavour to promote Timm Cooper Disc Brakes to as many Series Land Rover owners here in Australia as possible and send you all our press and media we receive along the way.

    Michelin Australia, Land Rover Australia and many other major companies have sponsored this project and I have always added stickers,publicity material and a credit of their company’s name at the end of the documentary as this would be offered to your company.

    That way you would feel very connected to Australia and this incredible documentary.

    Please feel free to view our website and view our promo films at the bottom of the page, here is some press we received last week.
