Well trying to get this mod done this winder. Want to use a single piston caliper w/ parking brake from Wilwood,but the price is going to keep me from that for now($227 ea). So will use the GM 79-85 Caddy calipers w/ parking brake. Just ordered a set w/ pads New,off E-Bay $138 shipped.
Have the brackets from Skybrake ($70), for use w/ GM calipers. Cable will be from Lokar( will get the weekend @ the GoodGuys show),& the rotors ,drilled/slotted SVO 11.32"/0.95 thickness will come from brakeplanet.com ($86 for the pr.)
Will post photo's once I get going on the install!!

 

Once ya get that done, why dontcha put together a complete set and sell em to us . . . : )

 

and we'll be right here waiting haha

 

look at my galley, i have them installed

 

Has anyone tried using the complete rear axle from the toyota Previa. There are plenty at the J/Y's with disc brakes. Ofcourse the brakets will need to be cut off and spring perches welded on but it's cheap and some come with lsd!!!

 

I would think the Previa rear end is too small & the axle shafts the same for truck use.
This is the lest expensive route I found!

 

plus i think smaller axle equals more wider tires in rear without loosing track width?

 

I am not sure about the axle but I am running a previa 7.5 inch 3rd member housing with factory 3.73s

 

Well work is going good,removed the axles
Cut the backing plate off

Removed the bearings,seals,o-ring,retainers & clips

Ran into a problem with the brackets I got from Sky Manufacturing.I forgot they use GM rotors as well as GM calipers. There's a difference in the rotor heights,so the calipers wouldn't fit over the bracket. So I trace the pattern to cardboard,than make a mock up of plastic(easier to work with)

 

Well work on this is going good,got the axles removed, backing plate cut off,& new bearings ,seals.0-ring,retainers,& clips installed




Ran into a problem with the brackets I got from Sky Manufacturing,as they are made to fit GM rotors, & there's a difference in height between them & the Mustang SVO's.
I made a pattern & mock up bracket of plastic (for ease of workability)

the fit was good

Though I found it flex just enough to give a false fit, I had to machine the mounting ears @ both the caliper end & flange end

3/8" plate was used

 

Got the new brake lines in place
Proportioning valve in place
E-brake cable pieces in place

Will paint all the metal pieces today, reinstall all tomorrow,& bleed the system.
May have to modify the c-notch,as clearance with the e-brake lever on the calipers is close. If have to do this I'll narrow it down a little & replate it.
Photo's to follow

 

very nice!!

 

man, lookin good! wish i had a shop/ garage i could work in, atleast one i could go to anytime i wanted

 

Had to add bracing to the sides as would pull forward when e- brake applied

 

Got all installed & bled today,took for a short test drive

 

Just have to adjust the e- brake better, & long test drive. Clearance with the e-brake lever to frame seems ok.

 

very impressive, I wish my rear brakes looked like that.. just out of curiously, why did you pick those rotors?

 

The Mustang SVO rotors fit right onto the hub once all the drum stuff is removed.Same bolt pattern & center hole size. 11.32 " /.95" rotor size. The drilled /slotted are a great price from brakeplanet.com
At the front I used Wilwood rotor 12.19"/ .85" & hat w/ a Toyota 4 Runner 4-piston caliper.

 

you should put a cover over the ebrake spring thing

 

Wow man the conversion looks really good!

Does the Wilwood kit come with mounting brackets and everything?
