hey guys sorry to change the topic a little but im about to put the 120y disk brake on the front end of my ute and i was just wondering ifi would have to put a certen size rim on it? i want to put 14" on it with maybe lower profile tyre or sumthing? just wonedering if its possible? or wat ill have to do to prevent it scrubing etc.

cheers ben

120Y's will be fine with the 14" rims because im running 13" rims but watch out for the offset the get pretty close sometimes.

wondering if this (rear diff) is a bluebird disk set up ?? anyone ??? the pic was in dattodevil's album

Thats not aussie bluebird no
They ran different calipers to the one pictured
That looks more like a front caliper adapted to the rear
And no handbrake
The drum section of that disc looks to be not too much larger than the 114.3 stud pattern
Bluebird handbrake is 160mm

rightio
anyone (dattodevil ) got any more info on this disc set up ??

that's my diff. Dattodevil was kind enough to pick it up for me and look after it til I could get down to Christchurch to pick it up.

I'm not 100% sure but the calipers look very much like 1200 ones, but the discs I haven't identified yet. I changed them for my own brakes but still have the ones shown in the pic. I will be doing a measure up shortly for another member who is interested in doing the conversion. And as dattoman1000 said there is no provision for a mechanical handbrake.

I still have the template I took off the caliper mounting plate the day that pic was taken.
MORGAN, you didn't mention that you weren't using the discs. Would you be interested in selling them?

Can anyone tell me what the discs in the pic are off? I tried asking the bloke Morgan bought this set up off, but he said it came out of a car that he bought.

Sorry Bart I thought I had told you I wasn't going to use those brakes- but was keen to hang onto them for the meantime. I would still like to hang onto them until the sunny is finished, but the chances are that I won't use them and yes I guess there is no point in me keeping them. We should be able to identify them though if you wanted to buy some newies- discs seem to be incredibly cheap nowadays. I bought some vented U12 rotors for the front of my 1200 coupe for about $30 ea!

Again, you folks got something different as when I was in the wrecker's last week I saw a few different 910 wagons, but none of them had discs.

yeah, must be an aussie thing, most 910s here had an independent rear end, except wagons and 1600cc models neither of which have I seen discs on.
