Anythings possible and I believe someone on here has done it for front and rear axles, but they're a different track width and its going to be a shed load of work!

Shed load of work is fine, i was thinking of keeping the orignal calipers and adding a second set of carriers (td5 disco ones) by bolting or welding a bracket on and using the other calipers as just a handbrake.
If you have any other suggestions for a hand brake instead im up for it as it wont be on the road for short while as i need to make custom props and sort wiring out |

I might be suggesting something completely wrong here - but what about the disc brake handbrake conversion? 2017 5.0 V8 Supercharged RRS SVR

Since the Disco 2 handbrake is, like the classic Defender, on the transfer box not the rear hubs, I don't see what you're hoping to achieve.

Use disco two rear brake calipers in tandem with the originals, as ive found the 2007 chyrsler grand voyager had the same caliper as the disco 2 but it also has a mechanical handbrake built into it Defender 110 300tdi hard top

So your plan is to use two Chrysler calipers, not two Disco2 calipers?
