Cheers Alistair, Guess you can do it. I also asked Baz, and he dident see a problem with it ethier. Just still waiting on axle bearing's and then i can start putting it together. Cant wait to see how it goes with a locker and disk brakes all round.

Not a problem, let me know how it goes, I'm interested to see the difference between the performance of discs and drums.

Well had a go at putting the disk's in my datto today. Been waiting on axle bearing to be fitted, 2 and a half week's is a joke. The axle's bolted up fine, But the brake lines would not fit as they are of the leaf sprung diff. So they dont go around my upper arm's. Minor problem, will try to get some lines from a sedan this week hopfuly.

why would you not ditch the leaf sprung rear and just get a disk break H190?

I was going to do that. But when i was looking for a H190(A little while ago), The disk brake versions that i found where about $400. And i ending up getting one with drum's for $125. Decided that it wasent worth the extra for disk's. Now i bought a bluebird wagon for the motor and noticed that it also had the disk brake rear. So i thought it would be a cheap way to go, fitting the disk's of the wagon onto my 200. So far it has been going ok, other from the lines the axles bolt in no prob.
