Well done!
Brakes?
I would describe mine as 'progressive' a slow reduction of speed followed by a trailing fade!
Nice to see all green on the Gov website

Sounds pretty accurate
they do fine about fields not sure about how effective would be on the road

Re: Lwb Santana 1.3 Hif44
So I've started my rear disc swap.
I bought a ebay disc conversion kit that just came with the caliper mount and backing plate for disc. I had the rear calipers of my old primera and thought I'd try make them fit instead so I would have a working handbrake.
To get them close I had to weld up the old holes in mount and bring then closer in to axle for a better position on the disc. Also had to machine (grinder job) the carriers down to fit between the disc and the mount.
Only done one side so far. Will still need to modify the handbrake cable mount to suit. Also still waiting on my wheel studs, and I'm going to need to order some new banjo and slider bolts.

Be a brilliant handbrake that once it's together. Good effort with the fabrication
