Disc brakes

Heystee Automotive finally managed to combine the excellent Santana PS-10 brake parts with special made Heystee Automotive brackets into a simple bolt-on disc brake conversion kit. Although the previous system with non ventilated discs already gave a huge improvement over the out dated drum brake system the addition of ventilated discs is a step in the right direction to make the Land Rover more safe and easier to maintain.

All common problems with the standard drums brakes like, lack of function when water or dirt comes into the drums, fading, painstaking adjustment and bleeding problems, are eliminated. The ease of maintenance is a welcome addition to this conversion

Braking surface and disc diameter are similar to that of the front of the Land Rover Discovery Series II so the system is capable of taking care of heavy vehicles.

Advantages

  • Better deceleration and more control.
  • Reliable, original and up-to-date.
  • No fading or lack of reaction from the pedal.
  • Works better in wet and muddy conditions.
  • Simple bolt-on conversion (no grinding!).
  • Brake pads, discs and overhaul kits are from a vehicle that is still in production and readily available from a local Santana/IVECO* dealer (probably for the next 20 to 30 years)

 

The Conversion

The conversion is a simple and straight forward job. All the bolts are supplied and std Land Rover parts like wheel bearing and seals can be used. NO grinding is required to the swivel housing, simply bolt on, bleed en GO (and stop). Please note: due to the larger disc diameter the original rims will only fit with wheel spacers.

The rest of the system:

We advice upgrading the whole system to dual circuit lines with 8" brake servo and Girling master cylinder, found on the early Defender 90" Land Rovers. The standard shuttle valve on dual circuit systems can be used but is not recommended due to it's poor brake bleeding "habits".

 

Caliper (front view / rear view)

Hub/disc assembly (front view / rear view)

Calipers

This Heystee Automotive system uses original Santana PS10 calipers adapted to take custom made Heystee Automotive mounting brackets. Each caliper has two pistons of Ø 48 mm. The support bracket can be bolted onto the swivel housing without changes. The caliper fits to the swivel housing without grinding. The brake pads have the same surface as the pads form the Land Rover Discovery Series II and are original Santana items which are readily available from the dealer/importer and directly from me.

Hub and Ventilated disc

Disc and hub are two separate parts. Heystee Automotive supplies the wheel hub and ventilated disc. Wheel bearings and seals (original LR SIIA) must be installed by user/fitter and can be ordered separately. The original Series rims do not clear the caliper so 1" wheel spacers must be used. We recommend the Defender 130 Wolf rims who have a larger inner space to accommodate the caliper.

  • 2 Caliper assemblies
    - incl. caliper, brake pads, support, bolts and washers
  • 2 Mounting brackets
    - incl. bolts and washers
  • 2 Wheel hubs with longer wheel studs

Notes: 
- It is possible to upgrade from our early Santana Girling Disc brake system, by simply replacing caliper, disc and bracket. Please contact me for more details.
* Santana has been taken over by IVECO Trucks and is now sold under the name "Massif" which makes the availability of parts even better.
