When I remade my rear springs the second time, I got new top leaves made, moving the pin back 150mm
The new rear springs were longer overall as well. I flipped the rear hangers and builts some longer shackles as well.
My own anti-inversion design. It works - what else matters?
Rear disc brake conversion using Hilux rotors and calipers.
The Hilux rotors needed the centre holes enlarged slightly to fit the std hubs (FF)
The brackets bolt on using the old backing plate bolts.
Air operated fiddle brake unit.
Installed behind drivers seat.
The 4 silver hoses operate the 2 cylinders, running through limiting vavles to prevent the cylinders operating too fast - or they break things :(
I run the pressure to these regulated to 80psi - just locks up the brakes but no more.
When I put my new rear springs on, because the axle mounts so far to the rear of the springs, I needed to change the pinion angle.
The olny castor shims I could buy were ARB ones - aluminium - but they hammered flat after a while.
So I machined up some steel ones out of some 100x10 flat.
I extended the breathers from g/box and t/case.
The t/case breather I tapped a new hole on the big nut which was the old breather and fitted a tail.
Gearbox I drilled and tapped the top cover. I then sealed up the standard holes in the rubber cap over the gearstick.
