AE101 Rear Drums to Disc Conversion

Postby d3nial » Mon Aug 23, 2004 1:12 pm

Hey - I'm planning to convert the drums on rear of my AE101 FX to discs (which I sourced from a wrecked 101 FXGT). Has anyone done this? Any pitfalls?

I'm assuming it's a case of removing the wheels and the drums and hopefully the discs just bolt straight on. Then connect the brake lines and test thoroughly? Am I missing anything (neither the donor or recipient have ABS)?

Would probably pay to grab the brake booster/master cylinder from the donor car with discs as the cylinder sizing could be wrong or else the proportioning valves in them to control brake bais could be different.

no experience with ae101 fx,
but late model toyotas have a drum&disc setup for the rear, the drum simply for the handbrake
