Front disc conversion is a straight bolt on job.

Get teh swivel hubs, discs etc from a SJ410, take the 410 axles out of the CV's,put your LJ axles in. Put the sj410 swivel assembly straight onto the LJ axle.

You need to trim 20mm off each side of the tie rod adjuster to get the wheel alignemnt right, and mitsi Evo 4 front brake hoses are the go.


Heres the brief write up from my conversion:

Collection of bits, old drums on the left, SJ 410 disc's with LJ50 axles fitted on the right. (Not telling anybody about what happened while swaping axles and cv internals around other than i have a good selection of spare CV joint ball bearings :? )

Any ways, it all kinda just bolts together and all of sudden you have disc's on the front. Too easy.

Hey like my cool new brake lines!!!!!

From a Mitsi Evo 3, strange eh.
