    No circlip that I recall on the MA70 hubs. Once you push the two studs out the plate sort of ends up floating on the hub........if that makes sense.

    Your not going to keep the MA7 parts I guess so you could be a bit brutal getting it apart, without hitting the backing plate.

    Not sure if anyone els has had a problem but the brackets I got ages ago I have finally gotten around to using and they don't seem to fit very well. The holes are larger than the axle retaining studs and also the centres of the holes don't match the centres of the studs. so they will fit on but move around a bit. The same for the holes that mount the caliper to the bracket.

    they will be fine if you just do the bolts up tight, just think of it as a little adjustment for you to play with.

    Yeah I was kinda worried they may move under braking torque though... and would it pass engineering?

    i can only assume that engineering isn't a problem considering how many other people have completed this setup.... anyone else answer this???

    I have successfully engineered my whole car. But my engineer may be a little lienient...

    I would say that the small amount of movement shouldnt be an issue as i think you'll find alot of components have that very small amount of movement...
    With a tight enough bolt, with measure to ensure it does not loosen, i think you'll be okay...

    Has anyone fitted the R33 Rear Calipers to the MA70 Rear Brakes? I am about to do this on my Hiace, but bumping heads together always helps.
    Cheers.

    Here are some Disc measurements for R33 and MA70 respectively:
    Diameter - 297mm/291mm
    Original thickness - 18mm/18mm
    Minimum thickness - 16mm/17mm
    Original height - 63mm/68.5mm (when laid flat on ground)

    Judging from these specs, the R33 Caliper "should be" a perfect match for the MA70 Discs.

    The differences in diameter and original height (do you mean hat height?) may mean having to make a new adaptor bracket.

    On the note of the bracket holes, as everyone else has said if you torque it up correctly you won't get any movement and it'll pass. The problem I have with the brackets is that I was told by my old QLD engineer that any brackets or spacers need to be solid (one piece). I may have misinterpreted what he said though.

    Yes, hat height is what I meant. A new adaptor bracket will have to be made, but that's quite simple. I am only looking at fitting the R33 Caliper to the MA70 Disc on the Hiace Diff.

    Is this diagram defiantly correct? The handbrake cable comes in from which side in this pic?
    I'm finally trying to reassemble mine after probably a year in pieces and it doesn't seem to sit right, in particular the bent pin seems too long and scrapes the back of the axle flange (where the wheel bolts on) And I don't have a white spring, it is black instead.

    The cable is coming in from the left hand side in that pic. You can tell as the tensioner spring and piece that slots into the arm the hand brake cable pulls on at the top of the picture are on the right (black spring that is quite flat and oval shaped is on opposite side to the arm behind the shoe on the right).

    So the pin with the 'U' in it is on the shoe on the right. Th only spring not in the picture is the yellow spring that holds the bottom of the shoes together. It sits behind the adjuster barrel thing.

    Hope that is helpful!

    So if the diagram is of the drivers side then on the MA70 the handrake cable comes in from the rear? (of the car) I've got it so they come forward on the hilux diff, this shouldn't be a problem should it?
