thanks guys and gals
dave

Something I have thought about and put in the "one day bin"

check toymods , lots of hilux diff's ( which are the same drums ) get converted to ma70 rear disc's i think ..

OK please tell me more i have just replaced pads and shoes the brakes are OK! but not jump out of the box i thought maybe there is a larger rear wheel cylinder or should i just get a better rope and anchor??

OK i am in where do we go from here ~~~~~~~~~I haven't found where i can buy the kit we must have the handbrake!!

OK! i have sent out loads of Emails so see what comes back?? And Mxmarty with the MA70 is the only one i have found that has the handbrake so who do we know that can help with this mod! I will measure the hole in the center of the rear hub on the weekend!

i'll be interested in the results as i have thought about doing it but was unable to find any onfo on doing it

Hello Dave well only got one email back and they want to know if we have 2 wheel or four wheel drive so i have just sent some info back to them !! does the 2 wheel drive SC have the same diff as the 4x4 or awd??
Dave i found some good info on toymods.com and found a importer today that has the parts so as yet that is all i know~~ i did find kits on the web but no handbrake they did say you would have to put the handbrake on the drive shaft well from the one's where i work with the brake on the drive shaft what can i say they are "S###"?? I went to the Toyota club and they go back to the one on toymods when i can i will go see a brake place in Toowoomba they will know??

Dave i just went to toymods.com and what they have there is no good to us thye have 5 studs and we have 6 maybe we could just knock one stud out???????????????????????????????????

DAVE well there has not been much info as yet the only thing i have been told i should change the front callipers to two cylinder before i do anything because the front does most of the work i will go see PRB very soon !!

u can re-drill axles, or brake discs to suit 5 stud , to 6 stud

no need to change axles , just get disc's redrilled to 6 stud

Well as yet i have not found any help with this but did find this
www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.phprf=8&t=216754
hope i got it all i can see DAVIES BROS PRODUCTIONS on the calliper bracket but can't pull them off the web when i have more time i will join them and get onto the bloke with the photo's ~~the callipers look to me to be Subaru i just rebuilt a 94 wagon 4x4 ( for my daughter then she didn't want it??) and the callipers have the handbrake so could be the same ! Don't know about this 5 stud to 6 stud i will do one later in the week but i am sure you couldn't do that and have all those stud holes in the disc i think that would be a no no!! If those brackets can be bought there would be no trouble then i have all the gear to build these but then they would have to be passed "G" i don't know just why there are no kits around or am i looking in the wrong place?? When the job was done would be no trouble to get them passed i used to build VW into buggies and i was the only one that had permission to build using the cut down steel guards and i never had any trouble to get a VW on the road but that was then and this is now??

Well i didn't get any help from Australia at all but did find the KIT in USA for 275$ have been told can't be done here has to be standard no mods?? Hey who know's about this load control thingie i did read if you adjust the thing will give more brakes at the rear??
