Is there anyway to fit disks to the rear of an MQ/MK ???, has anyone here done it or heard of it being done? and what would be involved,
Cheers

Thanks for that, seems easy enough

Yeh peter did a very good job on his conversion. it is a simple conversion ill get to it one day..... but the only reason i havent done it is if i start breaking huge amounts of diff internals its diff swap time rather tahn disk brake rear...

Yep real easy!! But I think I may have got lucky with my combination. I didnt have to do anything with my master cyl and the rear bias is spot on. Its been in now for a couple of months and I drive 40 kays to and from work every day with lots of steep up and down hill. Absolutely no problems or over heating. See how it was done in MEMBERS Frankenstine (still modding) I think I have a profile of the caliper mounting bkt somewhere

any more pics and info that you have would be great

is it possible to use the rotor and caliper of the front brakes. cuz i have a spare set of front rotors and calipers.

NO!!
The caliper piston is to big.. You will have a very poor pedal and to much messing around getting bias right. you would end up having to change it anyway so don't go there

It's all good, I have bought all the mechanicals from a VX commodore, motor, auto, all wiring computer, exhaust, everything i need for the patrol, so they chucked the rear disks and calipers in with the deal, so we will get them fitted up, would it be possible to make up the backing, plate that you cut from the old backing plate to include the caliper braket, so then the caliper bracket wont have to be welded to the diff, thus eliminating the engineerings report???

thank frankenstine. would the rear breake set of the GQ be bolt on?

I would say no. I would think the material would be to thin. The backing plate is prolly 3 or 4mm and the material I used was 10mm.

can you get a hand brake set up on the rear disks or drums.
On any H260 that is

Not 100% sure but I would think no..
Go the tailshaft mounted disc handbrake using a cable activated boat disc brake caliper.

What if I make a backing plate from 10mm which includes the bracket, or would a 10 mm baking plate be too thick??

The backing plate and shims set the bearing pre-load 10mm would be to thick and you would have to much bearing slop. Why not put longer stubs on the hub and then when the hub bolts on you would have enough length on the inner side to bolt a manufactured caliper mounting plate.
