Will 60 Series knuckles work with Mini-Truck disk brake conversion?

[slickrock]

Hello, I am trying to gather parts for disk brakes in my 73 FJ40. I am planning on using mostly 1980s mini-truck disk brake parts, but have the opportunity to pick up some 60 series knuckles right now. If I do this, will the 60 series knuckles work with mini truck parts? Or will I be forced to only use 60 series disk brake parts for the conversion if I have 60 series knuckles?

I would use 60 series knuckles and the following parts form a 79-85 mini truck since it is easier to find in a junk yard compared to a wagon.

Calipers
Rotors
Ft brake flex hose
Steering Arms
Kuckle Bearings
Brake Pads
Lock Washer
Axle seal
Seal kit
Inner wheel Bearing
Inner wheel Bearing Race
Outer wheel Bearing
Outer wheel Bearing Race
Mini Truck Axle

You don't want rotors and calipers from a solid axle mini unless you want unvented rotors and smaller bore calipers. Buy the entire FJ60 knuckles all the way to the hubs if you can and you will be well on your way to everything you need for the swap. Otherwise get the solid axle mini knuckles to the hub and leave the calipers in the yard. You can toss the unvented rotors.

Mini steering uses the banana arm. Use the FJ60 arms & new custom tierod assembly, or use the bushing mentioned in other threads.

The knuckles, knuckle bearings, wheel bearings, seals, birfs, lockout hubs are interchangeable between mini & FJ60.

The only stuff that is different is Mini uses smaller rotors & calipers.

Use the 76-78 FJ40 frt disc knuckle hoses.
