ae85 rear disk brake conversion

[panda_dan]

can anyone give me some help on this one? i am in the process of converting the drums on my ae85 to ae86 disk brakes. before i get all greasy, if anyone has done this before can you give me some pointers on what im in for? ta

[thaphatty]

huh what do you mean?

coverting from a S series diff to a T series?

or wacking discs on a S series diff (lol)

t series diff coversions pretty easy, just remeber to gut the brake proportioning valve at the rear before you go for a drive

how far through the process are you?

Easiest way is to just get a rear end from a AE86 or TE71... Then it's a bolt off bolt on job. But you should make sure to get the master cylinder, proportioning valve, and handbrake cables from the donor.

master cylinder is the same

yeah i have a locked s series diff on the car and have some 86 rear disc brakes lying around thought i might as well chuck them on. its just an intermediate step while i save for hilux diff. it will also it will be a good learning curve as i will be putting s13 brakes on the hilux diff and will have to do the same job again, so its good practise.
