Hi, I am planning a front axle change on my Land Rover 90 1984 vintage, the axle is from a Disco 1
and I was wondering if the early brake callipers will fit the later axle.
TIA.

Are disco ones are available? it is a simple up grade.You will need the raidus arms from the disco or be prepaired to make/fit spacers if staying with original arms. Pretty sure your calipers will fit but wait for other confirmation.

Thanks Tottot, I am aware of the radius arm size difference, the reason I want to use my original callipers is that I did them up with stainless pistons a couple of years ago.

Sounds good,and given where you are I dont recon your landy does much fast road driving.
