Thanks.  :)

They should be arriving on Friday.  :)  I've not looked for brackets yet, I thought I'd ask on here first.  :D

I looked at them as a conversion for what they are they are expensive so I opted for disc hubs

They are, but Trekkers only came with drums so brackets are my only option.

Those are the cheapest I have seen even without the extra 10% off

Not wanting to hijack the thread -

But do the use of converters such as those allow the use of a disc conversion on K&L front suspension also ?   ???

I know that many ask on here, but the reply is usually incredibly expensive   :-\

With the right bits, yes.  Often K&L owners want to keep the wide 5 bolt pattern, which is when the cost jumps up because the parts are custom made.

My EMPI brackets from Cool Air arrived - blimey they're heavy!  Not great for unsprung weight, but I'm not paying double the price for aluminium ones.
