  1. Like Justin said, you can use a camry condenser, i would't use the AE86 compressor, just cause the age and it was really designed for R12 gas. If you could get a hold of the 2A compressor that would be so much better, designed to handle the head pressures of R134a. You'll need an extra fan, (not some cheap shit craig davies crap thing either), a genuine Toyota 5 blade A/C fan is the go, You need to have really good airflow over the condenser. Have a look at Toyota with a/c and most run 2 fan continuously with the a/c on. You have my number bro, call anytime.

  2. Well, I've certainly had bigger headaches! The backing plate has an obvious place to sit due to the indent for the LCA, and then it can be rotated forwards or backwards to suit the mounting holes. The center hole of the spacer was a half-mm too small, perfect to file out and get a perfectly tight fit located onto the stub axle. The 4 bolt holes were a best-guess and drilled to 8mm then filed to 10mm to get them exactly where they needed to be. One hole has an overlap, but not in a direction that is important. After the first side I made a paper template so the other side was easy. On the strut there wouldn't be 5thou of movement in rotation, and zero laterally. With the enginering finished it was a matter of assembly. The hub and disc went on- Then the calipers-The biggest pain appeared now. I went to swap the brake hoses but the hard-line 10mm fitting on the chassis end rounded itself off in my brake spanner. They sieze in there after a decade. I had to keep the KE70 lines and change the caliper, so much swearing and brake fluid everywhere! It lines up perfectly in all dimensions, very surprising really! The wheel clears fine too- So there you have it, back on its wheels with the brakes bled, but I can't drive it as I'm halfway through doing the alloy radiator conversion! The pedal may go down a tad more, hard to say without driving it, but it should as the Move has larger pistons. The Move caliper & pads (new) weigh 3.2Kg, the KE70 caliper & pads (worn out) weighed 2.4Kg. The Move disc on a KE70 hub weighs 11.55Kg, the KE70 setup is 10.85. So we've added 1.5Kg to each side.. a nuisance, but hopefully not noticeable. I even scored a set of almost-new pads, a swap for the KE70 ones that were down to their last few mm!
