hey there guys
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

So let me get this straight, im am confused as a donkey.
1. I get front hilux rotors, and subura calipers
2. get the hilux rotors machined out to fit the axle? i dont really understand this part
3. make up brakets to fit the caliper to the rotor. schweet got this part sussed
4. assemble the shebang
5. do the handbrake

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!
