Rear Discs

[Greenie]

Hi anyone out here who maybe able to help, I want to upgrade the rear drums of my 2b to discs, I was going to go for the full rear thing and fit an LSD but I find it more fun with what I have (slides great). I just want to fit disc brakes. Any ideas?

Hi

 

The rear swing arms that fit onto the hoop bar thingy that holds the diff to the rear bushes, if you get some from an xr4x4 or similar, the arms with hubs, will have the disk brakes fitted to it; and will fit onto your car. The only problems will be with the driveshafts and I am not sure how you will get around this, as the standard ones are not the same as the LSD ones. I have fitted the LSD setup and it works well, never had the origonal so have nothing to compare it to.

 

Hope this helps

This sounds the easiest option, you got me thinking twice about the LSD, best get out amongst the scrap yard world........Cheers

I have some brackets that you can fit to your exsisting rear trailing arms to convert to rear discs. If you are interested send me a PM. Colin

Please explain further what you mean by end plate, I have aquired, just today a complete rear axle with discs, calipers the lot, from a 1990 2.9 Cosworth. Will it fit?

I think you will find it is too wide as it from a Granada, unless you have the big Luego.

seem to have lots of useful bits, rear disk adaptor plates, dummy hub strut inserts, etc. etc.

all at reasonable prices.

hi peter

the end plates refered to are the very end of the support asay where the assembly bolts oneach side of the car under the cockpit, these being the crumpled looking ends ,these from the saffire are just to wide to fit s7 mono,i cut of the excess replated and it fitted the s7 ,
