C303 disc brake conversion

[ravio]

if i am basically right what i should need to do is to machine my volvo whell hub to a 173 mm diameter, after that have the 6 new holes drilled in a 139,7 mm diameter....

looking on brembo website the drawing with all toyota disc measure, i just checked for my personal curiosity the nissan patrol datas, and i have noticed a couple of differences that caught my attention ( i hearbyt attach the 2 drawings as well as the list of all models using these rotors):

it seems that the nissan bolt pattern is 137 mm diameter???? i think it' s a mistake, did they maybe forget a "9" ?????
nissan holes are for M12 and toyota 14.55.... can i use my whell stud M12 x 1,25 or do i have to get new ones bigger?
At this point i am asking someone driving a toyota: is the wheel the same or does it have a different bolt patter/holes measure???

Thank you again !!!!

By the way checking on internet and asking a dealer here in my country i have found an afyter market rotor for that toyota disk made by DBA disc brake australia, with a slotted face that seems to be more performant! i think i' ll go for that !

nice and easy job but i think i prefer to have it bolt on rather than welded !

that' s what i' ll try to do! i am finding quite a lot of good tips here ! u guys up there in northern europe know how to deal with these axles !
i was asking to swamber something about it as he has a patrol like mine, he told me that toyota disc should be machined down from its 319 mm outer diameter to 314....can you confirm it? is the wheel too little for that diameter?
next week i' ll get the discs, some cheap ones i was intentioned to get the dba series 4000 but i want first to use those to be sure they can fit in ....

i' ve seen also 2 ways of bolting the new "C" brackets to hold the brakes caliper, one in the inner six holes pattern that originally i think was holding the rear drum brake cover, and the other on the 7 holes of the gear box cover...what do you think it' s easier? personally i think the six one...even when it' s all assembled should be easier to remove it in case of need...
