1970 Corona Rt80 Drum Brake Conversion

Featured Replies

Greetings all

I'm a complete virgin to this site so forgive me if i post this in the wrong section :-)

 

I have just got myself a new baby, a 1970 corona 4 door rt80 1.5 litre little beast. It is in cracker nick to, but its braking is something to be desired. Even after replacing the pads:-(

 

My question is simple. Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the front drum brakes with disc brakes?

I have been browsing the net. but have found diddily squat. it does seem that a later built rt80 had front disc's so I'm hoping that it will be easy...ish.

 

Cheers

Not sure of your location. Add it to your profile.

 

There is an RT81 at Heatherdale Rd that is definitely drum front, and another at Centre Rd which I think was drum front. If you phone centre Rd, they won't know or look.

 

I would suggest registering on Toymods and perusing the rides threads and also the Corona Dedicated thread in General Car Talk. You can't see it unless registered.
