Re: s13wb brake calipers on 85 hilux diff

S12W calipers use a 20mm thick (when new) rotor. S13WB uses a 25mm thick rotor. Rotor will bolt up tho the different rotor may need to be spaced to line up with caliper perfectly due to rotor thickness change. Changing to IFS hub & V6 4Runner (92-95) rotor & S13WB will fit up tho a rotor spacer is ...

s13wb brake calipers on 85 hilux diff

Im looking at getting rid of the solid rotors and pissy standard calipers on my 85 solid front end 4runner.
I know that usually you use the s12w calipers and ln106 rotors.
Can I use the bigger later model 4runner s13wb brake calipers with 40/60s vented rotors?

Re: Bumpstops and flipped U-bolts

I have a good place for you too test it out just up near bunnings.
You won't get anywhere near the results you are after with the engine crane. If you can wait till sat we could
Go out there and work out what you need in terms of bumpstops.

It uses a 15 amp plug but I have made up an adaptor so I can plug it into the 10amp power lead.
Im running mine on a 30m 10amp lead from the back of the house and it seems to work pretty well.

From last time I saw your truck you had you has big arched leaf springs and the shackles were nearly vertical. I would be going for a flatter spring and a better shackle angle more on a 45 or more angle. ;)
