Wonderful video Do you have drawings or specs on the spacers you made to adapt the model 3 caliper to the axle and the spacers for the pads? Love your videos!
Hey SG , great project. I just stumbled across your channel. I build a EV LandRover 6 years ago, daily driven ever since. I also make LandRover disc brake conversions. Please dont put a spacer behind your pad. Its illegal, wont pass engineering & is dangerous. as the friction material wears the pad will slip out. I guggest using Audi A3/Q3 EPB calipers, you can get them new under $200 . They suit a 12mm rotor , so just swap your rear rotor for D1 / RRC / early Defender 12.5mm rear rotors . Job Done .
Thanks for the usefull information! Yeh, I think I get what your saying, because the pads can now sit another 3mm further in then when worn they may slip out of the caliper retaining mechanism. I'll have to look at this and check with the engineer. I remember your Light weight. Nice one!
Great retrofit for brakes!
Thankyou!

Thank you! I don't have drawing unfortunately, it was just a case of making them to fit then grinding off the unused bits!
