    Default MA70 disc brake to Hilux caliper brackets

    After reading through this;

    http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/showthread.php?t=18913

    I am interested in obtaining the caliper mount brackets shown. Does anyone know where or whether I can still get these?

    Thanks

    I would like to grab a set to if anyone knows or can get some, I have been trying to get some off some of the members here for a while now but noone seems to have the diagram anymore,
    P100 gave me a .mpg file but I have tried everywhere around brisbane and noone seems to be able to cut from this, Does someone have a CAD file or an accurate sketch so we can get some cut.

    thanks heaps

    depending on price i may be in. From memory Herus has some here in adelaide. So if you hant have a chance to get some made J0RD0 i will see if we can get some organized and lazer cut. Group buy may be cheaper

    Yep group buy sounds good.

    Either way I'm going to need a pair.

    Just a thought but has anyone made brackets for other callipers?
    I have a pair of R33 twin pot rear callipers that would be better than the Supra items but a different bracket would need to be made.

    The problem with that is, if you get those calipers to fit, you will probably need to use different rotors, and if you are using different rotors, then the backing plates wont fit, and then you cant get the handbrake to work. etc.

    The good thing about the a70 conversion, is you make the hole bigger, do a touch of welding, and its done.

    Happens to be rather straight forward.

    Also in saying that, there is adapters out there for R31 brakes as well.

    I mention it as I believe the MA70 and R33 have the same thickness rear rotor (18mm) so this may be an option. I think the twin pot may be a little narrower than the Supra item so fitting it into the backing plate cutout should not be a drama, even if it had to be trimmed a bit. The Nissan calliper may still be an option but won't know for sure until I can source the MA70 gear first.

    I'm running R32 Rear Calipers (R32 and R33 Rear Calipers are identical) on my Hilux diff with MA70 Discs and Backing Plates, and they sit great! I will be getting a batch of 5 to 10 Hilux to R32 Caliper Brackets laser cut (1 piece design, as opposed to the 2 piece design I'm currently running) in the coming months and offloading them at cost. Can update anyone if they're keen.
