Post by Julian_4x4 »

Is there a way to convert the rear hilux drum to disc brakes?
I was thinking to use bundera disc and fabbing the rest of it

4. assemble the shebang

It all depends on the model off your axles.
I know on the latter lux the rotors have to be machined out to fit over the outer axle spigot , for rotor centering , but on early lux axles no machinning of rotor is required.
For early axles a spigot ring will have to be made and put onto the axle end to center the rotor.Without this ring rotor is only centered by the studs .All no good!
