disc brake conversion Q???

[J_Dub]

so ive ripped my axles out, drums stripped, to repace the diff with the locker etc and give everything a clean up..

Freakin hate drum brakes what a mess to pull apart let alone put back together, so im thinking disc brake conversion..

Ive noticed the 1 main problem guys have with doing this conversion is poor handbrake movement or issues with lever clearance with leaf springs etc. But since ive purchased a transfer case handbrake.. wouldnt this mod be a shite load easier... brackets, rotors, calipers, plumb it up and done????????? no need to dick around with handbrake operation???

yeh man your spot on,brackets,trim stone cover,bolt on,2x new hoses or old hoses and new hardline on diff,bleed it and brakes are done the install tcase handbrake and your away laughing exactly what oscars is getting when commodore goes in,he just got t case kit the other day

Yep.

I used soild front hilux discs, which meant turning the axle flange downa bit. 10mm plate for the brackets and 90-91 3l maxima calipers. works mint, but you need to hook the handbrake up as the adjuster in the brake works off the handbrake. but in saying that the placement is fine and you can use the factory hilux cable.

i used hilux solid rotors with mazda capella calipers, work a treat, trick is to get the most common and cheapest calipers and pads price in my opinion, unlike the idiot who used old subaru leone caliper who came in to work

There a lot of 'idiots' running the subaru caliper, they work and they are common enough, isn't that what is needed?

sorry not idiots, um id say not ideal..
i actual wrote that last post post wrong,

Keep the details of the car when getting them, save lots of time when looking for new parts etc, like any mods thats not standard.

saweet.
so anybody got brackets to sell?
I could go through snr4x4 if need be but worth an ask here first.
fcku ive spent some coin on this thing, adds up, but should be a fresh reliable weapon when finished
