Andrew,
I think the stock exec models etc uses a disc that's just under 300mm with
these callipers that take DB1331 pads.
Trev - what pads do the callipers that you have take?
The sports models use the bigger disc if I'm not mistaken.
Terry (could be wrong here)

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!!!
