Use both.??For those that have gone to 110 fronts, did you use the retainer clips that came with the pads and lock against the pins or use the springs over the pins like in the original setup? Does it even matter?
Will Tillery here sells a D90 kit for front. Pretty simple new calipers and rotors. DonePost #12 has a full list for the rear. Is there a similar list for the front? Would like to upgrade my '97 D1 all around. Thanks.
Not quite that simple. Disco 1 front brake pipes aren't configured for a direct swap to the D90/110 calipers. In addition to calipers and rotors, you also need to adapt the brake pipes. There is more than one way to do this, none of which is complicated. On my D110 caliper install I had my local indie Rover shop make me up new pipes with new fittings. Since I was going to the trouble of replacing 18-year old factory parts, I figured why not also do these at the same time. Overall it's still a simple upgrade, but people considering it should keep this step in mind as part of the process.Will Tillery here sells a D90 kit for front. Pretty simple new calipers and rotors.

Is there a D1 compatible MC with more volume that makes sense to swap in?What he said.
However, the hard short brake line in question is easy - IIRC, I found a 6" or 7" brake pipe with 10x1mm ends, and bent it to fit.
The 110 front brake calipers are larger than D1's, so the brake pedal will have a bit of extra travel before the brakes bite.
Thanks for adding that info Terry.Just checked, not LR genuine but pre-bent and just a little more costly than auto parts store straight lines.
The pipes/lines are in stock at Rovers North.
Don't know. I stopped right before converting rear brakes - that would likely need a 110 master, if it is different.Is there a D1 compatible MC with more volume that makes sense to swap in?
