ae71wagonater Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 hey everyone, I recently aquired an australian, 1983 sprinter. I am wondering how hard it is to change the rear drum brakes to discs? Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham7773 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) AE70, is there any issue with the length of the diff assembly going under an AE82. no sticking out wheels or anything? Whoops, can I blame my computer for dual identical posts? The computer in my head? Now I know what fwd means. f***witted d/h Edited March 12, 2008 by graham7773 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ae82 = FWD ST141/RT142 = RWD. Not much hope unless you have a Jig, Mig welder and lots of talent plus a large wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I new to rollas. did not think of diff. thinking about changing from rear drum to rear disc brakes on my AE82. can it be done? Is it simple? how much is involved in changing the hand brake? also, my AE82 sedan has an anti roll bar fitted to the rear suspension but no anti roll bar on the front suspension. will a later model anti roll bar fit on my front end? If so, how do I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Grab a disc rear end setup off an AE82 FX GT.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the fact that my AE82 is front wheel drive will not be any sort of an inconvenience, will it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
