Also Ian, are they under 16" boosts? What size are the discs?

Nope... look standard (and are now painted the correct colour) - but the ones in the picture are 18". IRB

What size wheels are necessary for them to fit under, & are AP rear calipers available as well as a balanced kit?

Yes front and rear...

Front run 356mm vented disc with a 6 pot caliper.

Rear Kit is 298mm venetd disc with a 4 pot caliper.

Full bolt on conversion, no modifications required (apart from new caliper to flexi brake pipes).

No - unfortunately... but shipping out to Australia isn't an issue.

There is nothing to the kit that any more complicated than working on standard Defender brakes.

Rakeway do a front AP kit with 356MM discs and 6 pot calipers for £1750 plus the enemy these need 18 inch wheels. They do a rear kit but I have not got it yet so i do not know how much it costs

Cheers Rob

I'm an 'interiors' guy and don't get involved in brakes at all - my question is, what's wrong with the standard brakes ?
