Hi , my 115,000 mile Rover 45 needs some attention behind the front wheel arch area. I know this is a common rust trap on the HHR . Question is , does this look fixable? I'm in the Leicester area and I'm looking for a trustworthy place to take it . I need to inspect the other side to see if it is the same. I

Hello Autoshiters, I'm stuck in a quandary, I want to take the non-self adjusting drum brakes of my rust bucket and replace them with disc brakes front and back. "But why do you want to do this?" I hear you say, well I've only gone and fitted a rover 3.5 V8 with a Renault UN1 trans-axle gearbox to it so stopping is quite important. I have in the past done this conversion but with an off the shelf made for that model of car kit. There is however no off the shelf kit for the H van. So my question is what do I need to measure/considered/know to order the correct set of discs calipers and associated box of OEM crap. I have rung around a few places but all are less than interested in helping and know almost nothing about the parts they sell. I've attached some pics of what is there for your enjoyment.
