Hi All,
I`m about to fit R31
rear disks to my 1600, i have various bits from the wreckers but not sure
what i need to reconnect the handbrake. I also have the original calliper
brackets. My questions are;
1, What parts do i need to
connect the handbrake?
[Terry Rudd] Both rear cables which you'll have to modify
i.e. shorten or get the made up ones from Sydney refer Iggy's post. The rear
cables on the R31 are not designed real well and get dirt and water etc into
them so they are in demand at wreckers, if you get them from a Upull, make
sure they aren't frozen - the angle of the calliper sits on a 1600 much
better (higher towards 12 o'clock high) and doesn't get the water/muck
problem.
2, I`m assuming i need to
cut a section out of the bracket(as seen in photo`s), is this
correct?
[Terry
Rudd] No, don't do it. Take a bit longer and grind/sculpture the lip
off so the bracket fits over the A arm flush with the hub and ream out the
centre hole in the brackets until it fits over the flange (it's 2 or 3 mm).
Remove the axles (pain I know) but I cringe every time I see the Craig way
on this one.
3, Do i need different flex
hoses?
[Terry
Rudd] No, R31 flexi hoses are perfect to connect to the 1600 existing
solid lines (straight screw in as same fitting as the 1600 rw
cyls)
4, And where can i buy the stub axel
nuts from and how much would they be?
[Terry
Rudd] Nissan genuine part only, refer Iggy's post again for
part number etc.
Much
appreicated,
Kris.
