Hilux rear Disc brake conversion problem.

[mudnutz]

I am using SNR brackets and MR2 calipers. To keep the calipers up high on the rotor they hit the leafsprings, so would swapping the hilux diff housing for a wider leafsprung surf housing be enough for the calipers to clear the springs? Also would hilux rear axles fit the surf diff?

yep i had the same prob, that setup is for the wide axle.. ln61 surf rear end works

not sure about the SNR bracket and calipers

But the hilux axles are shorter than the surf ones.

I have Maxima calipers above the leaf springs on a surf diff with heaps of room, used brackets from Deranged

mmmm....perhaps SNR should mention that minor detail on their site.

email them about it, and let them know

x2 early 90s v6 maxima on leaf sprung axles. small mod to caliper to use hilux handbrake cable.

yea i thought the same considering they market them selves as hilux specialists, not surf.

Yeah good idea i might just do that. It will be interesting what their answer will be.
