Jafa sells the caliper brackets to convert them to MR2 calipers, and you can get the suburu caliper brackets off Brian Howat.

These would be the rears as both the scuby and mr2 calipers have the handbrake thingy built into it...

Fronts?, maybe something on here....

I have some plates and calipers here that I developed a year or so back to convert a full-floater rear axle to disc. For the front you need a selection of Hilux solid front axle parts... its a pretty simple swap. Alternatively find a later model 40 with a disc front end and just swap the axles over.

ORE forums do not allow any form of advertising in them to keep them clean and strictly about the 4wding. The new Vendors section allows vendors to post their products and answer questions direct to the ORE membership through the use of the new vendors forums. This section is a long time coming and eagerly awaited part of OffroadExpress and will help to preserve its existance. This will be the cheapest and most effective advertising tool in the 4x4 community for NZ. Includes ORE supporters membership.


Get youself a vendors membership :wink:

Geez Jerry does this mean everytime someone says i've got something that someone is asking about that they should pay a vendors sub? If the guy had started a thread saying i've got this for sale then fair enough but FFS hes just trying to help one of the members who asked a question :roll:
If this is the case then how long will the forsale/wanted section stay free cause theres a heap of people selling stuff there.
