Change front drum brakes to disc brakes

[Kerrin]

Hello
I want to change the front drum brakes on my 1982 1800 king cab to disc brakes.
What model can I get the disc brakes from and are there any modificatins required?
Thanks

Disc brakes from any 720 would work without any modifications. You just need the complete spindle with the caliper and the disc for the conversion. There are other brake systems that work also and are a slight upgrade to the original. The front disc and spindle from the nissan caravan (E24) is a direct bolt on for the ball joints but the hole for the steering end needs to be shimmed or welded and reamed to suit the 720 end. Also the flexible hose would have to be changed.

Thanks for that, flinterman2000.
I'll have to track another old girl down

In the US 1980 & up had disk brakes from the factory. What country are you in?
