Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I want to do a rear disk brake conversion on the old 45. I've heard lots ideas from Hilux to Subaru. Just wondering what you guys have done, seen or dreamed about?

Thanks, Richard.

Later model 75 series utes and troopies have rear disks. You may be able to fit the calipers and rear rotors from one of these to your 40Ser. I have recently begun looking into this for my 73.

I do a kit for the 40's its a direct bolt on all you need is the disc's, calipers and wheel studs from the front of a 4wd Hilux 1979-1987 (solid rotors) and $300 for the conversion kit (all lazer cut mounting brakets, spacers, backing plate etc bolts and fitting instructions.

will the kit do 60s?

I used 80 series calipers, 70 series rear discs and 80 series hubs....resulting in rear discs and a 3 inch wider rear axle.
This is in my 40 running 60 series diffs.

bundera front brakes to 1989 also were solid disks similar (identical?) to hilux so should work with this kit?

how do you sort out the balance/bias?

Have used 60 series booster/master cylinder with the proportioning valve under the master cylinder but the best system seems to be the Hilux/Cruiser rear mount proportioning valve that uses a link arm to the rear diff housing to sense and adjust rear brake bias.
