I've been reading through the tech articles (again!) and trying to get ideas on a brake conversion I'm trying to achieve.
I read about 1200rallycar's toyota calipers and Pintara disks done onto a Stanza strut, and thought somone might be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to get a set of VN Commodore rotors & calipers onto my stanza struts. I've got the VN LSD in the rear end and want to keep the commodore stud pattern and bigger brakes all round.
After discussing it with an engineer and the wrecker, the stanza strut doesn't seem long enough (bout 25mm short) to just make a spacing or different size bearings to get the VN rotor on. Engineers solution was to cut the VN stub axle off and weld that straight onto the stanza strut. Prob is wrecker said this would need to be engineered, xray tested & expenive to be roadworthy.
Does anyone know, or would anyone be able to pass me on to someone who could give me some good advice?
Cheers in advance for your help.
PS talking QLD so QLD Transport
