Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am looking for a rear disc brake set up to suit my 73 series
Can anybody help me out please
Its a standard full floating diff
What rotors and calipers would be best suited for this
The cruisers max weight would be around 2000kgs
Im running 35s and looking at larger tyres
I have 15 x 8 rims


Gordon

hmmm i wonder how transferable the 80 series stuff would be for it ??

Would like to keep away from the drum handbrake set up
Cause of mud
Thats why I am looking at discs

Gordon

The easiest way is to swap in a disc brake axle from an HZJ75. Same width, spring perch distance, parking brake cables, etc.

Harder yet is to make a plate and space it just right so you can bolt on rear calipers off a 79-81 Supra with built in parking brakes, and use solid rotors from a Hilux front attached to your hubs by longer wheel studs. The parking brake arrangement is different than a 73 series, harder to make it work.

falcon calipers run the handbrake in the them as well.

Why not use 80 series rear disc set up and not use the drum on the inside for the handbrake and make a t-case mounted disc and go kart cable operated caliper for the handbrake.

Gordon, ring me and I`ll tell ya how to do it

dumbdance from this board has done this on his bundy. bit different tho i guess.

BJ, What did you get that setup off of? I havent been able to find anything to 'bolt onto' a 60 yet. Contemplating a 80 rear axle tho.

I made the kit, it uses the same rotors and discs as the back, well it was made by a dude down here a few years ago, he stopped makin them, it works a treat but was difficult to do, cause the back of the hub needed a slight machining to fit perfectly on the disc.

I have an 80 axle here, needs some parts, and im trying to sell it.

does SOR do them for FF or just SF? cause the yanks only get the SF axle.

Both I believe. They use chev discs and calipers.

All the guys i know that have done it fit hilux solid rotors and subaru calipers which have the hand brake in them .The only trouble i have herd of is sometimes the boster needs to be updated .

Daz,

Which subaru model do you guys use down there?
