: Toyota Rear disk brake coversion FLEXYSAMMY 02-06-2002, 09:29 AM I did do a search on this. I am wondering if anyone out there has done a home grown rear disk break conversion on a Toyota axel. If so what did you use? Azrckcrawler 02-06-2002, 09:41 AM Originally posted by FLEXYSAMMY I did do a search on this.

If the axles is under a Zuk what the hell are you doing that requires even better brakes :eek: Only advantage I can see is dropping some weight, but the weight is already down low helping your CG. The Toy drums hold good backing down hills unlike the stock units. mudlite 02-06-2002, 09:53 AM Not everyone does only ROCK. I am sure he plays in the mud , and want the benifit of not washing his drums out every run. Basically I would pick up soem chevy callipers, a non-composite disc, and a weld on bracket. Keep the parts cheep. Chevy calliper off an 80's Monte Carlo are a dine a dozen. No need to pay big bucks for swap kits. Just a waste of money. Good luck:D JackA 02-06-2002, 09:54 AM ROKTOY, aka JayK, pioneered the disc swap for Toys. His website has all the info you need. Why don't you do a search on the Toy board:rolleyes: Azrckcrawler 02-06-2002, 10:06 AM Originally posted by mudlite Not everyone does only ROCK.

Good luck:D What is this "mud" thing you speak of? :D FLEXYSAMMY 02-06-2002, 10:15 AM Well the reason I am doing the conversion is because I need new drums. I went to my local parts dealer and they said the drums are $80.00 a peice. Unless I am mistaken I mine as well take the $$ I would use to buy those and do the conversion. Anyone agree? mudlite 02-06-2002, 10:20 AM If you price out a rebuild on drums and disc. You will find it to be cheaper with discs. Go with cheap, easy to replace components. dangerber 02-06-2002, 11:27 AM My "search" of the Toy section came up with this: http://205.150.191.126/aweber/brakes.htm As well as a # of other threads. I posted this to your thread in the toy forum as well. :D FLEXYSAMMY 02-06-2002, 11:43 AM Thank you Danger Bear :D poppycock 02-06-2002, 12:16 PM what master cylinder are you going run? i'm sure by the time you have 4 wheel disks on the yota axles the sami m.c. won't have much peddle. it's a very simple swap though. instead of removing the bearings to get the backing plate off you can use a sawzall and just cut it off. :D | |
