    Got a brake Bias box to go in, rebuilt it and painted it in Por15 to stop rust.







    I bought corsa C SRi rear axle and got another nova axle to do a disc conversion



    weight differences between rear drums and discs


    rear axle back from sand blasting, like brand new

    Should be fun.

    Do you run coilovers on the back?> Might be good to welded the beams shock mount up while its off as it's much easier to get too just for strength.

    Agreed on suspension mounts if coilivers.

    You won't regret the por15.

    Good time to replace the spherical bearings in the front mounts if they're not perfect. They're not expensive.

    Yeah i might look into strengthened shock mounts ive never seen that done before...

    So today me and Richard Hubbick cut the factory handbrake cable guides off the axle.



    and he helped me out with his welder and welded the disc handbrake cable guides on



    so the rear disc conversion is looking pretty tidy so far.
