Anyone know if I can put dics's on my Hilux diff???

[J0RD0]

ok have an RA23 with a hilux rear end with crappy but bigger than the original drum brakes. I should have chose a diff with disc's but its too late for that now. I managed to steal the model plate off the lux when I stripped the diff out, it was a 1980 RN40, trans axle code is L42 G142. Has anyone else used one of these or similar to this one and changed it to disc's

Any help or information would be appreciated

Is also a rather neat, painless solution.

yeah I saw that one, didnt read it all the way through, I was just looking to see if any one had done the mod to the specific diff that I had, wasnt sure if all the hilux diff's are capable of that conversion

Yeah, great thread that.

Thanks to all the guys who offered their experience especially Pure_In_Sanity and Robbos_Toyotas. And to GT for making the brackets.

Cheers,

Absolutely Robbo. In fact the engineer complimented the feel and stopping power of the brake setup. He said it brought a smile to his face.

did u adjust the bias? I havent got around to it yet....i might try and get around to it tommorow...

sux being an apprentice - i have to work so many hours to keep my cars on the road, then get no fuckin time to work on em

Sorry for drifting off topic too btw

I'm looking at fitting R31 rear calipers and some 5 stud rotors to my lux diff. SO much easier/cheaper to source R31 calipers than the Toyo ones.

No, I only played around with the handbrake, which is still a bit slack.

I know the adjustment is that small bolt head. Inside there are a couple of small balls and springs apparently that control the bias. I'm leaving mine where it is at the moment - if the engineer is happy, I'm happy.

Cheers,

Peter
