rx2 rx3 rear disc brake conversion?

Does anyone want one? I have a custom setup my friend got machined and set up for his car. He no longer has the car and im getting rid of stuff for him. I have no idea what calipers or axles he used. It also comes with the brake cooling ducting. He might make more. Taking offers. i can send u pics to your email.

10 is the overall thickness, section that meet the axle flange need to grounded down to 8. Im using rotary power and re-speed bracket, both requires a spacer between the bracket and brake caliper mount. Based on the illustration, aussie bracket requires no spacer since it has been grounded down to 8. Also it says s4/s5 caliper but im sure it can be modified for s1-s3 calipers

i think you are asking if the conversion to s4/5 rear discs suits s1-3 type diffs ?



the s2 ( sa22c ) and s3 ( FB in the US ) feature a triangular 3 bolt flange for the wheel bearing at the axle

the s1 on the other hand does share common 4 bolt PCD spacing at the axle flange to the rx2/3/4 so should be able to be made to work

That depends on what peeps would pay if i can get a shop to copy the brackets. It has to be at least a dozen since a shop need to need to make a jig and such
