Rear Disc Brakes
Posted: Sun Apr 24, 2016 1:44 am
I've been looking for a brake upgrade for my 96 L300 and have found the info on fitting the Paj/L400/Montero front calipers.
However, I would also like to upgrade to discs on the rear. I have seen some info and, from memory there was a problem with a difference in the oil seals.
A few years ago I replace the rear drum brake system with the later model discs on an Aussie Commodor. The disc mounting plate was a couple of mm thicker than the drum backing plate and required fitting the thicker seals from the disc braked car.
I'm wondering if that is the case here and a simple change of seals would allow them to bolt on...
Does anyone have more info on this?
