    I bought a Devon at an auction, I had not planned to buy it but bought it anyway. I was told it didn’t have a master cylinder, but found out all brake components had been removed.

    Has anyone done a disc brake conversion on a Devon keeping original hubs & wheels if possible?
    I have tried to mock up with Ford Festiva rotors & callipers, but think I might have to go with early Focus rotors to get enough clearance for fabricated hub to calliper brackets. The Ford 4 stud rotors are floating and 4 x 4.25″ PCD so they fit the stud pattern once the centre bore is enlarged

    Hi…no need for any fab work…Austin Healey 3000 bolt striaght on but expensive.
    Get a pair of MGB stubs + discs + calipers. Have holes for bushes in stubs taken out to fit A40/A60 K/pin bushes…ream out to fit devon K/pin and fit..but it drops the front by 1.5`ins.Keep everything else Devon. Use the MGB rear axle also.
    Or….get your old Devon K/pins turned down to suit MGB stub axle bushes, same result.
    1500/1600/1622/1800cc B series engines are a good upgrade.
    Kind regards Martin.
