either one, just curious at ideas for my buggy.
It has a hilux rear diff,
just wondering what factory parts can be used in the conversion?
Then i guess it's just a matter of fabricating a bracket, that bolts onto the 4 exisitng holes for the drum backing plate, to hold the caliper.

Pretty sure you can use std front calipers and rotors...

You can use front rotors but not the calipers.
The calipers need to be floating calipers as Hilux rear end has movement in the axles.

Best Caliper is the subaru front , off a leone.(but get the later leone so you can run front vented rotors)
Early leone will only allow front solid rotors to be used.

There is a bit of machine work.
Early model lux axles need spigot ring made to centre rotor on axle.
Late model lux axles need rotor ID increased to spigot onto axle.
Both axle OD flange need machining down so rotor will fit over.

Then there is the M/C.
Will have to run a 1" bore disc/disc M/C of an 80 series Cruiser.
The hilux Disc/Drum M/c can not cope with the extra fluid required as does not have an internal residual pressure valve.

Then you have fab up the caliper brackets.

Do a Search you will find heaps of info on rear disk conversions

Has Snake Racing got theirs up and running yet, I looked into it about two years ago when I had a runner and they said they were about 6 months away from being ready.

The subaru way is the best way I have had mine on for about 4 years now.

GQ Y60 rear rotors
Sub 85 leone/starwagon front calipers
depending what year model your booster is you may need to up grade
80s Master cylinder
and a prop valve (Front range offroad do a kit bolts up and cheaper to)

ORI have a kit for Lux rear disc conversion, not sure on what calipers/rotors etc tho.....wouldnt hurt to try them.

This may sound like a stupid question to all you smart ppl out there. Everyone keeps saying to use subaru front calipers for the rear end of the Bundys and Hiluxs and then having to play with portion valves etc. What is wrong with using the entire setup of a singular vehicle for the whole brake system? For example using the front and rear discs and calipers and booster from a Commodre? I realize this particular example prolly wont fit without alot of mucking around but something similar perhaps.

The cable handbrake that hilux`s have on the rear is what makes the problem.

wouldn't a transfer case brake replace that?

Can't find the thread, but there was something on here a while ago about using the rears of a pajero, I think they fitted in pretty neat

I think that would be ruff's. He is even selling his old housing with the pajero conversion on it.

can be done using falcon calipers and landcruiser disks as i have

holy shit are you serious with that color scheme under your rig!?!!



Chris: Superior Engineering would probably have something for ya

i'm interested!

any specs on what model falcon / cruiser etc, master cylinder upgrade etc?

V6 Bundy wrote:wouldn't a transfer case brake replace that?

Yea but depends how much your into your wheelin .with the handbreak on the rear you can use that to an advantage in situations ans the T/case mounted you can`t do much with

Its stops better then standard but not as good as I want it to. I am working on that ATM.

Worth a look.

I will be doing a rear disc conversion this weekend so I'll let you know how it all goes

Just courius,would the rotor exspand when its hot so if you put the handbrake on it will loose grip when it cools down?

My handbrake works great

From what cruiser are the discs off?

...and there is nothing wrong with the colour scheme. Although a bit of orange wouldn't go astray

one point I'll make is that if your using Hilux rotors and Subaru calipers then if your using flipped rims you'll have to grind some of the caliper to clearance the rim.

From what cruiser are the discs off?

Front 60 series,late solid axle Hilux

Vented 302mm Dia 20m Thick Part No.DBA 151
Use late subaru leone front calipers

Front Hilux early solid axle , Bundera front

Solid 302mm Dia 12.7mm Thick Part No.DBA 154
Use early front subaru leone front calipers.
