Hilux Brake Disc Backplates

Recommended Posts

Brace yourselves, I'm having a serious moment.

The backplates on my MK2 Hilux are shagged. They're not available as a pattern part here and Toyota want £460 for a pair of them. Gulp.

I'm not having a lot of luck finding out if the MK3 are close enough with a bit of fiddling ( the swivels and hubs are the same, calipers are a bit wider for vented discs but pads are the same). Short of driving 2 hours to my supplier and comparing, it would be a bit of a gamble.

The other option that has been suggested by some off-roady mates is to leave them off. Apart from having to make a bracket for the brake pipe union, I'm a bit dubious about the amount of crap that'll get flung at the brakes.

Anybody got any advice/ideas ?

As far as I know it's a MK 2 or LN65R. 1984-88. 

If you're looking at my thread don't be put off by the bed, that's off a 2004 MK4.

Thanks for the offer of finding some there, I may end up doing that. Probly end up cheaper too.

460 quid ? You can buy a whole car for that.

In your crazy, upside down, had Japanese cars forever type reality. We only had Land Rovers until 1979.

later vented brakes and calipers will fit with stock backing plates.  just have to give them a little trim to fit the caliper from memory

so guessing will work the other way..

Thanks man, that's all I needed to know. Ordering them right now.
