BIG A Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hopefully someone can help me on the matter. I am using A hilux diff for my 1uz conversion and was going to go disc brakes. The question I need answering is how do I hook up the hand brake as I dont have a problem doing the disc set up its just the hand brake conversion side I'm not to sure about?

Spencer Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 use a caliper with an intergral hand brake, do a search bud this came up just recently. ae92 calipers & various silvia disks depending on what stud pattern you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 can probably hook you up with discs and calipers if your using 4x114.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 94 levin rear calipers have integrated handbrake setup...I'm doing exactly that setup in my chevette. hilux lsd with levin rears and discs and handbrake. My fabrication guy has all the brakets to fit everything if you're interested? http://www.lynchbuilt.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Hardstyle Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 may be a bit off topic, but am putting hilux rear end in vauxhall, should i go and get a hilux driveshaft aswell? will any hilux driveshafts fit onto any hilux/hiace rear ends?

Ke36 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 you just need the d/shaft flange to get put on a modded d/shaft both rear and front hilux diff - d/shaft flanges are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 IS the hilux DS large in diameter? Just option of modding one of them at front rather than escort may be an idea. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Hardstyle Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Toyota/Diffs-axles/auction-237834916.htm doesnt have diameter on it though, but u could ask. am getting a surf rear with shock mounts for my viva spring rear end, reason for going hilux dshaft is i dont think the 1256 d shaft will handle tht much power, even tho it is a meaty as dshaft, will any hilux one work? and will i need to get a w55 dshaft yolk welded onto the end to fit onto the w55 box? (should really start new thread as is getting off topic, but just like hijacking ) and tbh the viva driveshaft looks alot bigger and wider than tht hilux front one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 as far as i know there is 3 differnt hilux/hiace drive shafts they all have the same size spigot but differeent bolt hole spacing, so you just slam it in use vise grip to hold it still and redrill the holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Hardstyle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 also does anyone know if an auto rear diff is any longer/shorter than a manual rear diff? will have to get out and measure the viva driveshaft and when i get hilux housing see how much further the diff head wil sit back (if any) and then work from there, since the housing im getting is from a surf, fair enough to go for a surf rear driveshaft? hoping the bolt hole spacing is the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Dono if this old thread is any use viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19158&hilit=hilux Going back to the original question of how to do the handbrake linkages Anyone got any more useful pics / ideas similar to this? So the one above must be done in that it has a floating cable with a thread in the middle that you adjust to change tension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 auto/manual same strength just the ratio's that differ and the bearings from open to lsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG A Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks for the pics awsome. Anyone else got anything like this I can look at would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burntrubber Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just finnished doing this for a mate today. MA70 Supra rear setup its internal drum handbrake was simple as to setup probably took about 5hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
