What Model Falcon Calipers For Hilux Axel Disc Conversion??

Post by kbjj »

Saw some Falcon rear calipers (solid disc with handbrake mechanism included) at the pick-a-part a couple of weeks back, and can't remember the model, now it's gone :roll: The Handbrake mechanism didn't stick out like the Subaru Leone ones.
Can anyone help? Iv'e wasted 2hrs googling already :x

Just did a quick search J (5 mins :P ) and found that the EA coon seems to be the one. Having said that these guys are using 2wd Hilux axles for other applications so they are using the 5 stud discs from the coon as well. Some are saying the XD/XF calipers work but they are using EA handbrake levers. Don't have any idea what that means is the real world, but it may make sense to you. :wink:

Hey, just another option for you. If you use the soild disks off the front of a hilux, 90-91 v6 maxima calipers work with a flat 10mm plate bracket. The factory hilus brake cable fits witha small peicr of flat bar welded in to the caliper lever.
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed

Cheers, I did find that stuff, but they don't look like the ones I saw. After images of each model as I'm a visual type of guy

I've fitted xf rear callipers to a cruiser fully floater hsg, and they worked ok. I think ea falcons have handbrake shoes inside the disk rotor like the 80 and prado.

i know eb and ed models(early 90's) falcons and fairmonts used disk hand brake. but the round seal behind handbrake mech lever was prone to popping out. used to #### me off, emergency stop once, all good, nec minit, no more brakes(via pedal). hahaha. ended up modifying the plate so it covered more of the seal.hope it helps.
