Disc brake kit fitting to a Hillman Imp/Singer Chamois Sport

Since this set fitted so well,we have seen another set being imported for a local Imper who drives his imp on the road.The difference from drum brakes to discs is quite something of course.

Let me know if you want this option,we can back your order up with our next one.

These are fitted only to the front of the car,many small modern cars have the same set up,no brake servo will be required,you can even use the .625 brake master cylinder that is standard on the Imp but the sports .700 size is said to be better?

The brake caliper with a mount plate.

In this case I did a dry run on a spare stub axle,in all cases I assembled the brakes to the cars actual stub axles on the same bench,it made drilling and bolting together very easy to do.

With the kit as supplied,the job is very straight forward,the longer wheel studs are not part of the kit and the two large nuts are only there to hold the disc in place.

Drilling of the front wheel stubs 8mm holes (two) will be required,the new size being to 10mm,this is easy to do with most tools found in the home garage.

Note the black painted plate,its that which bonds the parts together.

Refitting is easy,I recomend removal of the stub axle when your doing this upgrade,new king pins and wheel bearings  are almost certainally going to be required as well.

I have a good reason to smile,this job was quite straight forward,there are detailed instructions and a picture page of the process supplied with the kit.
