All you would need to do is remove the drum-brake axles from the wagon diff. and put
in the disc. brake axles from the TRX. The caliper mounts are alloy and are retained
on the axle.
The handbrake cable is offset towards the top rear so you probably won't have any
trouble with the cables fouling the spring leaves.
If you want to go over the top (who doesn't?) you could try using the suspension arms
from the TRX axle that you have to buy as anti-tramp/wind-up rods, and fabricate a
panhard rod or similar.
but anyway it should be a straightforward conversion.
Regards,
Nick

yeah, I'm up to speed with that. What's used for rear disks then? would
it be easier for me to make end plates and weld them to a standard wagon
diff and use trx disks and callipers or remove the mount where the McPherson
strut sits so the d bolts can fit over the axles.

You will have problems putting the TRX diff into a wagon as the wagon has
leaf springs and the sedan has macpherson struts with control arms.

That's a point. How much hassle is it to put a series 2 b'bird Trx
diff in a
series 2 wagon? Also. Will the instrumentation of a trx wire up to a wagon
loom of the same series?
cheers....

Luke,
A mate of mine is about to stick on some Jap model skyline vented
disks and
big single piston (58mm diameter!) calipers on his b'bird series 3 wagon. He
has already put on some TRX rear disks. The fronts should be done this
weekend. He purchased them from Feral Errol. Try Datrats.
Regards
Trev

Subject: upgraded brakes for a bluebird
list,
i am after a basic upgrade of brakes for my series 2 bluey but i don't
want to have to machine anything if i don't have to.
is there a larger disc that will fit on and also twin spot callipers. i
have a set of AVS 15x6.5" rims so the discs can't be massive.
thanx
luke heymans
