Rear disc brake conversion with handbrake

[GooSe77]

I'm dreaming of disc brakes in the rear, but would like to keep the handbrake at the rotors. Using original Toyota parts from the 80 series is to expensive. I did see a lot of conversions here, but al without the handbrake at the wheels. So has anyone tried this or has a link to the post ?

Use a complete hzj73 rear axle

I have used a Subaru Front Brake caliper, with a Hand brake built in.

the simple way, you could use a pair of hilux 84-92 front rotors, custom bracket and voilá
a proportional valve and keep it the lspv

I think the question was to do with fitting a hand brake.

Just use the complete factory rear disc assembly, note the drum brakes have a better hand brake.

I have done the same kind of conversion using a Chevy caliper with hand brake integrated.

I've had the rear drum and the rear disc. There is no noticeable difference to braking if both are functioning properly.
But I agree with Hulsty, the drum handbrake is better.

Those are hard to find here in Germany :-(

That would be a solution. How this can the brake disc be with those ? From witch model are those and did the bore of the position fit the system ?

These were fitted on a Mud Plug Trialing 40 series cruiser, worked well but did not need to comply to a brake test.
