nm /nk pajero discs and calipers fit on...

the calipers alreay have a e-brake leg built onto em...

i made my mounts out of 8mm flat plate...the caliper lined up with the disc perfectly...

cost me $80 inc the calipers and discs and lines...and a bit of time...

did you need to machine the end of the axle to fit inside the rotor.

If anyone is interested I am getting Brackets laser cut to suit Subaru
Calipers and Hilux front Vented Rotors .

The Brackets will be Engineered Aproved.
If anyone is interested let us know.
Will have a price on just the cutting today but they will have to be machined aswell.


Cheers

i did have a bees dick taken off the axle.. i think lux discs would overcome this.
