hmm every time i look up how ur project is going im always impressed....i just have a few questions

how is the custom diff going?
Do the brakes work fine or did u run into complications?
What size rims do you need to fit over those brakes?
What is that plate off that you have the calipers mounted onto?

And also

Would those t18 axles fit into a jdm disk end rear? Or are the drum brake ones different?

cheers mate

Well I had issue with my second car so I had to take it off the road, so once I got rid of it in a blaze of glory I had to rely on my sprinter as a daily trasport. This is really bad because I can't do things like this diff practically because I have to have the car back on the road the next day. Add to this I havn't had access to a hoist for a month because it has been occupied. Anyway my diff still is one of my higher priorities right now and what I might do is to get my car back on the hoist, take the current diff out, do what I need to do with the brake mounts and then put the current diff back in so I can drive it still. I will need to do that about 3 to 4 times I think but it should only take about 20 min each way. Anyway I am looking for another daily driver so I wont have to do this sort of crap. Also I have been overwealmed with other things that have kept me away from my garage and they will bug me for a while yet. I am hoping to work on this diff in one months time, then I will see if this combo really works.

I tried my 14 inch rim on my diff and I found that because of the oversized disk and the fact that the caliper sits out a fair way it comes quite close to the inside of the rim. If it wasnt for the fact that the disks sit so far inwards then a 14 just wouldn't fit. However that's not to say all 14 inch rims fit, some rims have the recess to put the tyre on on the inside. Rims with a big dish almost always have this and I dont think those will clear the caliper.

One other thing that might cause some issues is that the hydraulic lines coming off the caliper leave off an awkward angle I will probably need an elbow or something to make it work. I will get custom metal lines made up for the rest though regardless.

I cheated when it came to finding a plate to mount the calipers on, all they are are the original AE-82 Corolla ones with the steel dust covers removed, i found to my pleasant suprise that all I had to do was cut the original hole in the middle into a slot and it slid over the diff housing. I will need to brace it but thats very easy. This is have a really nice factory look too which is just what I want for anyone in blue looking at my car.

I have no idea about fitting axels off T-18 into a Trueno, I guess if its a zenki (earlier) trueno then it shouldnt be a problem but who knows
