As there is no catagory for brakes, I'll try here,
Is it possable to fit Everest Rear Disc Brakes to my PX2 ranger?

No idea.
Pedders do an upgrade kit and there appears to be a ton of parts. Be the first to try retrofitting Everest disc and let us know.

does anybody KNOW if the Everest parts will fit the Ranger, without modification?
I suffered brake fade at the bottom of the Adailade hills this year, if there was one more car in front of me at the lights, I would have hit it,

Bit the bullet and fitted the Pedders rear disc kit.
brakes feel very good, good high pedal, and light pressure to get same braking result, feels very responsive,
But anyone wanting to try installinng it themselves, beware, it is a bitch to fit, you need a huge press, and special tools to remove the lock nut and remove/ refit the bearing, then to fit the hand brake shoes, is extremely frustrating as there is no room to fit the shoes, and impossible without the retaining pin tool, even then 2 hours to fit the retaining pin, spring, and retainer, thats per pin. thanks to pedders Frankston who let me use their tools and press, otherwise I would still be doing it, the problem is that ford has not put a hole in the axle hub, to get access to the retaining pins, no need with drum brakes. but very happy with the result.

Good to hear that you are happy with the result.
How did you go with the certification?
They claim that the conversion is ADR compliant, so does it come with an engineering certificate?
Cheers
