Are you doing heaps of mud driving?

If not, then maybe you're not reassembling things properly?

Something is wrong here . If your driving heaps of mud you should be removing the drums after every mud trip and washing it out. If your not driving mud then you gotta look at how they are being fitted.

There is bolt on disc conversions available.
Snake Racing do one, and a few places in usa do, too.
Not cheap, though, you may have to sell a kidney or something.
But saying that, my rear disc conversion has paid for itself in not changing shoes and cylinders, already. Pads are only $20 and caliper kis are about the same. But you hardly need either very much.
Mine (nissan pintara rear disc set up) was just over $100 in parts from a wrecker, but the labour to build the caliper mounts, welding etc was done by a good mate. This is the dear part of conversions.
Once done, tho, its very
You won't regret it, unless you get divorced for spending too much on your other love

Geez theres some dodgy conversions in that lot. Just look at the one with the caliper mounted at the top of the rotor! How the hell is that supposed to apply leverage? And bleeding them would take days!
