We decided to swap the axles for portal axles that I got from a c303 volvo.

We are looking for help getting the parts needed for a disc brake swap.

@ukkonen7 was able to help my friend get some information, but pointed us to try and get more information from other members here.

Here is where the axles are now.

I plan to use the toyota rotor, TOYOTA 4351260120

Does anyone have a source for the mounting ring for using a toyota caliper j6?

Nice FZJ! I don't remember seeing topless 80 series Cruiser before but that's seems to be pretty cool. There's various versions of the Volvo disk brakes around - maybe you could check with http://www.offroadtarvike.fi if they do have some. I don't remember anymore which brake caliper they used in conversions.

Thanks for the advice. I emailed offroadtarvike and they quickly replied that they can help me.

Awesome.

Hope to start burning some metal this weekend.

Got the lower and upper mount tacked in place.

Making slow progress. Not much time to work on this project.

I need help looking for disc conversion parts. I reached out to offroadtarvike; however, have not been able to communicate about buying the parts I need.

Any other source for the shims and brake bracket?

Where did you get those axles? Aren`t those pretty rare in States?

[1fzpower]

Yes, very rare in the states to find these axles. They appear to have come from a batch that came in the early 2000's that were cut off of military vehicles in Europe, boxed up and shipped over. I say that as the bolts for the springs were clearly cut from torch and half was still there until a few weeks ago.

I found them after a long search in Grand Junction Colorado.

The rarity has definitely caused me to have to search for information from all over the world.

Here is pic when I got them, and some more pictures of FOO in the wild.
