ok ive got my donor levin (gt-apex) and im about to put the 4 wheel disk brakes (hubs) onto the wagon

the wagon has 2 front disks and drumies on the back.

obviously both the drummies and disks have fluid lines.

but my question is.....

should i replace the lines with gt-apex items or a the wagons lines identical?

cheers in advance

do you mean the complete line that runs from the engine bay to the rear wheels?

if so, no need to. they are the same. i had a look when i got my brakes off the trueno.

if i have time tomorrow ill take my wheel off and get a pic for you if you want, as i used to have drummies on the back aswell

Heres a pic of my rear discs, converted from drummies.

And heres the bottom subframe, which I took the chance to paint while I had the car in pieces.

hey hey,,,

kinda a random bump but i am hoping to be doing this, this weekend.

just some questions:

which hoses did you use and what does the proportioning valve look like exactly? its it basically a T-Joint?

cheers!

by **20v_rollaboy** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 10:53 pm

Used the Trueno`s brake lines, and the proportioning valve is in the engine bay, mounted on the firewall near the middle I think. Should have one line coming from the resovoir (sp) and four going to each hub.

Hope this helps

oh another thing...

handbrake cables?

use the setup from the donor car and all is good?

by **bluemaumau** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 8:59 am

what cars?

yes you need the handbrake cable.

my gt-apex cable fitted the wagon perfectly

20v rollaboy tells me that you will need the valve, as he had a incident the other night

Toyspeed Profile - MrOizo · by **MrOizo** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:38 am

oh damn shit!

i have the whole hub assembly incl brake hoses and handbrake cables too.

car its going in/on to is a AE91 sedan.
car its come from is a AE92 FXGT

hope its all good~!

by **bluemaumau** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 4:05 pm

should be swwet,
just replace the valve with the fx item
replace the hubs.

join the sedans brake lines to the fx's just were they enter the guard.

handbrake will need to be replaced all the way to the actual handbrake as it is one cable

well that was ass!

really the only thing holding me back was the size of the hose line. so back to drums :/

physically and theoretically they should be the same. was right length and all that but didnt wanna screw into place. (its the hose end that mates up with the hard line from the chassis)...

might have another go another day but losing motivation for doing this fast

One thing that looked to be of concern also was the rear suspension arm - looked as if the bush was a little too wide to fit in it... hmmmm

another pinch-a-part mission might be needed

by **bluemaumau** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 10:32 pm

yea join it at the hard line. mine fit easy.

check to see if some over anxious mechanic tried the torquetillsnapsthenbackitoff trick. have seen plenty lately where the male fitting has flared inside the female fitting, making it very hard to undo, and near on impossible to re-fit.
