if its the same as mine.. not sure it is though. You will also need to make new brackets for the handbrake cables. the Marlin ones wouldnt fit between the upright and the caliper, in fact I even had to fettle the caliper marginally.

Not sure what disks I'm using just know they are not rovers as they wouldnt fit so Mark had to replace them with something else, but they have lost the paperwork to be able to tell me what so will have to measure and work it out from a catalogue if I ever need to replace them.

Hi Craig.

Keep us posted how you get on.

Upon further investigation (Ian and John D said the same thing), the arc of the Nissan disc is too big for the Rover caliper. That's why mine is only using half the pad. The hub lugs and carriers cannot be alter to compensate. The only idea for mine at present is maybe Nissan calipers for the rear and redo the lugs.
