The only problem I can see is that these use a very long pads and 330mm discs so
using the smaller disk the pads could end up hanging over the edge of the disk.I
would say that a bracket would have to be made so the caliper could be moved out
to suit larger disks.(is mounting calipers on brackets legal).If the piston size
is the same on the lancruiser caliper as the hilux caliper (28.5 by2,37.5 by 2)
then it would end up close to the simitomo calipers piston area but with larger
pads and vented disks they would have to work better than the solid disk 240k
setup.Maybe!!!
