Re: Front disc brake conversion

Thanks RiverPatrol that is some good information there and very helpful to have some photos as reference too. Apologies regarding the H260 diff confusion, yes my front diff is the standard smaller size. From what I can see the GU Patrol runs a 306mm disc rotor whilst the MQ rotor is 295mm - both met...

Hi everyone - whilst perusing the internet for information relating to our beloved G60 Patrols I have recently been hunting some information regarding front disc brake conversions.

Re: 5 Speed gear box

Marks no longer have parts and really don't support it. I think the clutch pressure plate is standard but the clutch plate is non standard - I assume it has a different spline count. There is some info/technical specs/original installation instructions on the Marks elsewhere in this forum. Thank yo...

Re: 5 Speed gear box

Great comparison - I too have the Marks 5 speed in my V8 G60 and although never having compared it to the original 3 speed I think it is a great transmission, especially for offroad with the low ratios. I am wondering if anyone has been in touch with Marks for replacement parts for their 5 speed? An...

Re: Recently Purchased Patrol in Oregon

Awesome Patrol! Looks badass, I too own a V8 Patrol and absolutely love it.
How are you finding the FAST efi system? I am toying with efi for my own Patrol. Also would be great to see some more photos of the underside ie. suspension set up, steering, driveshafts etc. for reference thanks!

Re: Relining a parking brake assembly

Good work - I looked everywhere as I thought I would be able to just purchase a whole new brake shoe assembly. After some advice from Esteban on another thread I dropped it off this morning to my local brake shop who will reline it for me. Hopefully not too expensive after reading this write up, loo...
