*HOW TO* Rear Disc Conversion

doh !!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats pretty good, always wanted to do this!

excellent!! really informative, cheers dude!!

can u use caviler rear calipers an hubs on mtech kit or are they different? :confused:

You should be able to use an hubs and calipars from a cav/astra beam.

hate to b a pain but are cavalier an astra rear hubs the same then? i have a chance of having my mates cavgsi2000 rear brakes as stripping car. will they fit straight on to nova axle with kit?

You cant use any thing that's from a IRS set up. (anything 4x4)

But yes Cav and Astra hubs will be the same. As long as they arnt IRS

Ok, i sorted my handbrake cable today. So i thought i would post the info in here seeing as it gets asked so much!!

I used the RH Nova cable (long one. Part Number 108720161) and a mk2 Cav LH cable (short one. Part Number 108720041). Got these from Euro Car Parts.

All i did to lengthen the Cav cable was construct a sleeve. I then ran an M8 tap through it, added 2 nylock nuts abit of M8 stud and voila...

Hope this helps.

The Cav mk2 estate calbe is 20/30mm longer, so would shouldn't have to extend it. I didn't. Nice work tho dude.

Thanks.

Not sure if mine is an estate one TBH. I just typed Vauxhall, Cavalier, 2.0, 1987 into Euro Car Parts search. Picked the short LH cable!!!!
