JackKostrin 1 Posted September 25, 2021 Hi if this is allowed, I am after XD - XF rear disc brake calipers, anyone out there have a spare set they will part with ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,263 Posted September 26, 2021 XD calipers are different to XE and XF calipers. and the mounting plates. for converting a drum diff, i'd just find a disc brake diff whole. if you want or need a good hand brake.. keep the drums 1 1 gregaust and gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted September 26, 2021 Even between XE-onwards disc and drum setups, the mounting flanges are different. The bolt pattern is the same but one is turned 90 deg to the other, meaning that housings are brake-specific.I have spare what I believe to be an XD or earlier housing with the iron calipers, ventilated discs and big bearings, and the bolt pattern is different again. It looks more like a 9" pattern (square vs later rectangular). Not even the axles are compatible from the XD one to XE, so like what Dean said, best to get a complete assembly with parts that are already working together (even if it needs rebuilding) and go from there.Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 1 1 deankxf and gregaust reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,269 Posted September 27, 2021 Be warned........they ain't cheap.!! I rebuilt a couple, some parts are made of unobtainium, pistons are pricey, and specific (for XC/XD) 2 deankxf and gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
