How was the process and if there's a conversion kit available? Thanks in advance. Al   J.

From what I've read you can use non-ABS RRC hubs, spindles and calipers with a flat 1/2" thick plate welded or bolted to the axle housing to mount the caliper. By using the non-ABS stuff it is supposed to work out to the right dimensions so the axle shafts fit properly. I do know that the 110 parts manual shows a caliper mounting bracket about like that.

Troy and Keith from Rovertracks.com are apparently working on something right now. I'll let you know what I hear as soon as I get a response from them.

Since it is a Salisbuty I'm not sure it is as easy as a Rover axle, though.
