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...

On the web i have found these codes for Wilwood calipers
#120-6816 front
#120-6811 rear

It seems they were the ones used by Portal tek when producing the disc conversion kit for Volvo axles: does anyone know if they are the same used by offivaruste or offroadtarvike?

Monday i' ll receive the discs and bring them with the hubs to have them machined...i' ll finally see something moving in the right direction !
Ciao have a nice week end !!!
