Ehyo! so doing some things to get my 82 hj47 troopy inspected for registration here in Canada after coming from australia. it has a h55f in it so there is no parking brake. so I need to do a disc conversion in the rear to get the parking brake. I know I know, parking brake will barely or not work. yeah yeah, I have lived with the P brake on my 89 trooper for 7 years so nothing new. I really just need it to pass the inspection. If it holds the car at all ill be happy.
I also know everyone hates aftermarket conversions. I can tell you the mote carlo brakes will be better then the reman isuzu callipers. seized for every pad change ugh. I will be doing a toyota conversion for the front when the parts make themselves available. but I need to do this swap in the rear and I have not really heard of any oem toyota parts swap for the rear of this truck.
THE REAL QUESTION IS: so when i called JT to ask about the bracket and kit for the rear of this truck he told me that i needed a FRONT DISC BRACKET FOR THE REAR, and that I would have to drill all new holes for it. I'm kinda regretting not getting the brackets from redline now but I have what I have. anyone else with an 82 hj47 done this conversion with the front brackets on there rear? was it seamless aside from drilling new holes? I really dont want to tear everything apart and find out this is nonsense. Im doing this conversion this Saturday so if you've done this, Id love to hear about it!
