Rear disc brake conversion <-- New

[oldsklminitrk]

Yes they will work.....those are similar to the ones I ordered and you just use the Mustang Rotor.....don't worry about it fits a 6 lug just pretend they didn't print that...just get the brackets.

Thank you soo much
they want 180.00 for the brackets
isnt that a lil high?

[truck action]

The Mustang rotor is 11.32",and don't have the axle flange measurements( should have recorded them)!!

[sitnlow4life]

So i am thinking of doing the tacoma calipers instead of the monte carlo ones
they are 4 piston versus single piston and the brackets are only 80.00 versus 180.00 for the monte carlo brackets

what do you guys think?
any feedback?

i was ondering if it will change the width of the axel if so by how much?

So I am going to do this asap cause i need brakes either way. But my questions is I am going to use this:

mustang rotors
Caddy Eldo calipers year?
And as for brackets the link to the weld in brackets that were pretty cheap will those work?

I have to order all the parts from the road so I wont be able to test fit any of it...

Then I am assuming lokar for the emergancy brake connection as my rear had no cables for the brakes

Also one other thing I wanna do stainless brake lines on ebay they have lines for 4 inch of lift for a 4x4 will the 2wd brakes use a 4wd line?

79-85 PART NUMBERS #4138 & #4139, UNLOADED( WILL NEED THE PADS)
FROM:CLASSICPERFORMANCEPRODUCTS/ $110
I made by bracket as the one I had gotten was for GM rotors,used Mustsang,differant offset & I would bolt the bracket on as may need too reposition ,centering is most important!!
I ordered the stainless lines from the bracket company .E -mail me & I'll send all the links! `

I hate to bring this up now but has anyone got ahold of joel or guilty by design to see if they can laser cut some caliper brackets to yota rear axle using the eldo or other caliper setups? I am sure if we were willing to commit to a few sets it would be easier to lazer cut them or even waterjet them?
I need these but I am afraid I am going to order the wrong braket and be out of luck...I only have 1 weekend a month I am home so It cant be a guess....

I want to run eldo rear calipers with ebrake with lokar e brake kit.

I want to run all the rest of the hardware needed to make it work.
The axle I got is missing the factory ebrake parts and probably could use a brake rebuild it would cost about the same to do this conversion so I know I keep saying I want to do it but I need to be pointed in the direction to order the brackets that I can use or a basic design to cut plate and get it to work.

Post up the site you are referring too ,as haven't heard of them. And yes it is better to make in numbers,as the front brackets I got where done in this manner by a member of http://www.toyotaminis.com/

joel-mindless metalfab but i think he left tere and has his own place i just sent him a message

kyle is at www.guiltybydesign.net he has a 4 door yota i think its on here as a project

I know if someone took the time and traced out a real close design of the one they used we could get it cut
via waterjet or lazer cut

and then we could get sets done up and there wouldnt be anymore guessing
I really want to do this I just dont want to order the wrong items thinking its right and or have to cut a bracket not knowing the design or dimensions.
My friend said he could do it if he had it in cad he knows someone that can throw it in and cut it in a few min..

[1lownismo]

If someone has this done and is willing to draw it out with the dimensions and measurments and include a couple of high res pics I can probably get them cut but i will need someone that has it done already to help me out. thanks in advance...

I found the site for sky-brake

www.sky-manufacturing.com

got my brackets today only 80.00 bucks
Cant wait to get this swap done
I have an extra set of mustang SVO rotors if anyone needs a set

[truck action]

I had the ones from sky-manufacturing,but the offset is for GM rotors,I'm using Ford Mustang rotors as the pilot hole & lug pattern are the same as Toyota's,so had to change the brackets !

[sitnlow4life]

They Brackets worked perfectly for me
got them all installed today






Thanks again for all your help
