sierra disc brake rear...

Post by Bad_Zook »

anybody done the sierra fronts on the rear conversion.. i have a wt.. already setup a nt transfer handbrake.. and am about to put vitara's on the front. anyhow mu Q. is...

because mine is a wt with the single brake line rear end, what do i do for the hard brake lines? i need to either get the valve thing from a narrow track and run dual lines or get some sort of 1->2 distribution valve and make up some new hard lines.. then just run them into the stock front rubber hoses on the caliper..


anybody have any comments (and not about the lack of sentance structure..) on how i should do this ?
cheers.

mmnn must of had major brain failure last night.. went and had a look and think about it this arvo and sorted it straight away.. took the flexible line (w/ built in 1>2) and the hard lines from a vl turbo diff sitting in the shed.. voila!

Hose fitting up near the caliper makes for easier bearing changes and other work
