brake set up 40series cruiser

[tuf45s]

i have a 45 series running injected 5.0l, i have the sixty series front disc setup, i want to put rear disc, and want to know the best way to do it, and also want stronger brake feel, any suggestions, have been told to go to a 60 series or 80 series brake booster?
any help appreciated

yeah mate, mine was originally drums all round, but one of the previous owners put discs on the front, but didn't upgrade the booster. Net result is a very spongy brake pedal. The 60 series booster will fix this I'm told.

Disclaimer: I'm yet to do this though (it's high on my list!!)

This looks like a easy way to get discs on a 40 series rear diff.

It is, but only works with the early 8 bolt backing plate pattern, wont work with the later 4 bolt pattern.. For the 4 bolt pattern the conversion is essentially the same, just you need custom caliper brackets.. I believe Eureka make these..

The rear axle/brake setup is the same on a BJ as it is on an FJ isn't it?

Sorry for the hijack..

Yes, but the patterns changed around 79ish I think..

i forgot to mention i am putting 60 series diffs under i am pretty sure the end of the housings are the same anyway

60 series flange is 4 bolt like late model 40.

the kit i am after or the brackets at least is something i haVE SEEN
in america
they use a dba disc when talking to them they said it is a dba disc made for commodore but with the center machined out to fit landcruiser axle
they use gm caliper but these are too small for my liking
i would like to use this disc as with the offset of the hat it has the same track as drum setup but want to use a hilux caliper

if anyone knows of an existing kit this would be tops.
