I'm using high tensile bolts on all fittings. The rotors are being fitted to machined brake drum centres.

Joe I acknowledge you're a much better welder than me, but I'm getting more practice as I go. Incidentally, I asked you about your mounting plates but got no reply, so I thought you weren't doing them any more.

This sort of custom engineering work is very rare and we are lucky to have it available to us.

Great work Joe!

Here's my kit for mounting Sierra front discs and calipers on the rear axle. Price is $240 AU + $40 shippng.



I also have a kit nearly ready to go to fit Mitsi Galant rear calipers with built in handbrake to a Sierra rear axle. Similar to my Vitara kit pictured below:

An up to date photo showing the disc brakes fitted to my Sierra.

how good does the handbrake hold? Good for a 40' slope?

0.6666667 degree slope isnt all that much, I would think it would hold ok

Handbrake holds as good as the drum on the road but I will be trying it out on the track in trwo weeks.

Struth, thats pretty heavy, barsted. How often do you stop and go for a walk and leave ya car on an incline like that.
