C303 disc brake conversion


Ciao everyone, i have seen in several threads some nice pics of disc brake conversion for the Volvo portal axles...
I am working on these great axles since i got a pair of them.
i don' t like so much drums and mine were in such bad condition that while changing them, the disc option became a must.

I would like to understand something more about it as my ideas are quite confused.

Looking on internet i have found quite immediately http://www.omt-offroad.com/ in germany, for sure a beautifull kit but what a price !!!!!

Arska-tehtaalta suggested me these 2 finnish places:

http://www.offroadtarvike.fi/etusivu/

http://www.offivaruste.com/catalog/index.php

both seems to do disc conversion.

A friend of mine here just machined the wheel hub, made the 6 holes and runs on this way...someone here used 2 extra flanges on the inner and outer side of the reduced hub to have a flat surface where to insert the new scews...i think it' s smart

Another guy i met on another forum machined the hub even smaller and welded a brand new biult 6 holes flange to it.... don' t know if it can become weaker in this way...

This is my first 4x4 and my first serious job! i am pretty sure i couldn' t find anything more complicated to do with my poor knowledge!
I' d just like to adopt the less invasive solution and do it in the best possible way...

I really like to have you opinion!

Ciao have a nice week end!!!
