i got my set finished but i made my own brackits .my hand break is not as good as i hoped as its still not sorted but on the road the breaks work great locks up all four with the simex. as for adapter break lines 80 series front fit straight on you just have to cut a locating tag off the line.
subaru l series calipers where fun to find but sun spares at yandina qld have plenty in stock for $130 a pair and will send them to you (not sure how much postage). also repco and super cheep are hopeless and kept trying to give me the wrong pads so you need db418 pads for them to as the wreckers throw them out most of the time

Rims flipped from $50
hole
as for the over size hole in the centre its actually 91-111mm so was thinking of making some press on rings to take the slack would any one else be keen in some

these are cutting brakes, they allow you to lock up 1 or 2 wheels at a time (hydraulic handbrake)comp use only.jaronimo wrote:sorry Im lost, Sloshy what does you use cutting brakes mean? never heard that term before, are your gq rotors a tight fit on the axle or sloppy as?

what size bolts to use
Did any one work out if the new axle studs had to be M8, M10 or M12
Im guesing they are closer to M10 x 1.0, could someone confirm this?

that would be the semi floating bearing bit doing that
, as the pads are getting knocked from side to side due to the endfloat, pushes the pistons inside the caliper back, allowing an air gap to form, you would need to change master cylinders to allow for a different residaul pressure at the rear calipers to hold the cylinders tighter, I believe prado master cylinders bolt straight in, locktup4x4 has em as they are disc to disc design

I just run the 80 series master with the standard hilux booster and my brakes are fine.The_apprentice wrote:thanks fellas so do i need to get a booster as well or can i get away with just doing a master cylinder? and do those prado ones have the one inch bore like the 80s?

Unless on a turbo diesel (i.e. surf) as the brake lines exit the master on the guard side as the turbo is too close, I found out the hard waySTUMPY wrote:Yesjaronimo wrote:so the 80 series is a direct bolt on replacement to the hilux/4runner, ie no modifications of the brake lines at all?
91' Hilux Surf with the usual mods & a few different ones ....

As mines the turbo deisel runna, same as a surf also
ah all good info to know in advance thanks guys
this one will fit the standard booster, but all diesel/turbo diesel models have the brake lines on the right, bending brake lines may be too close to the hot turbos

No you will still have to rebend your lines, pretty easy to do just becareful not to kink them like Dougster said.jaronimo wrote:so the 80 series is a direct bolt on replacement to the hilux/4runner, ie no modifications of the brake lines at all?

the top master cylinder is definatley the right master cylinder to get(for a 4runner with a 4bolt booster), Its a 1inch disc to disc bore with residual valves, can also be used with rear drums

pretty darn good,
gee Im hopeing my calipers fit my brackets now, can always redrill anyway right? From what I have been told there is quite a few different calipers out there, the larger rounded steel slider wih the smaller piston apparently is the caliper you need but not sure if the bracket was made to suit that caliper?

the brackets were originally made to suit the calipers off the FRONT of an L series Subaru wagon.
This is the first time i've heard of there being different L series callipers out there.
