Hilux brake tech help

Post by justinshere »

Hey.

Ok ill be fitting another rear diff soon and its got disc brakes.
Also ill be removing the load senser from the rear.

In the pic of the master cyl the fitting circled in red goes to both front calipers and the lower fitting on the load senser, circle in red also on the 2nd pic.
The other fitting on the master, yellow, goes directly to the top of the load senser, also yellow.

So if im running discs on the rear ill only need one line going to the diff.
I was going to plug the 2nd fitting on the master cyl (yellow circle).
So the front fitting on the master cyl will be supplying both front and rear brakes.
Is there any prob with the way i wanna do this?
Also forgot to mention ill be fitting a 80s master cylinder.
Please note that this wont really be used as a ute to cart shat around.

Cheers Justin

Just leave all that there change the master cyl you olny have the one line to the actual rear diff that 2nd pic is the load proprtioning valve leave it conected and/or make it so it works if your fitting the 80's master and disc rear you shouldn't need to swap any lines in holes like you have been saying
plenty of parts on the bench

I would leave it there but, the rear diff is coming forward between 7-9" and the chassis is getting chopped about 12" in front of this proportioning valve.
