Ants 6,370 Posted September 27, 2013 They are made up of shit from other cars though, I'm not paying through the nose for a kit made of shit I have lying around the yard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winton 399 Posted September 30, 2013 rear I fitted r31 skyline brakes and axles. mainly did it to fit the r31 28 spline axles. here's a link. http://fordcortina.com.au/newforum/index.php?topic=1901.msg6808;topicseen#new you could also use the r31 disks on the corty axle having them redrilled to he corty pattern, you would need to have a spacer made to fit between the disk and raised round section on the axle flange. just fabricate a mount for the calipers, it could bolt to the axle retaining plates. you probably could get away without making a spacer for the disk and raised section on the flange guess its got no load on it. front haven't done anything yet but plan to use a disk from maybe a focus the last of the 4 stud ones and have the disk drilled and taped to bolt straight to the original hub, not sure what calipers I will use maybe BA. master cylinder some guys fit a xb one, think they almost bolt straight on, brake line threads maybe different. not sure what master I'm going to use.

Tyler06 266 Posted September 30, 2013 Talk to Dave pro250... he supplied my whole kit on a pallet ready to bolt in. Hq calipers and xb discs up front with a 10mm thick ? Adaptor plate for caliper. Then falcon discs and calipers down back. I just got him to build me a complete diff with spool, 4.11s and 5 stud haha 1 dougie77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
