Re: JDM diff no calipers - Advice on Corona rear setup

I think the problem you'll run into is the bolt pattern at the ends of the axle housings. The Corona (and T18, RA40, RA60 etc) has 4 bolts basically in a rectangular pattern. The JDM AE86 diffs (from what I have heard) have a wierd bolt pattern.
But the handbrake difference shouldn't be an issue, just connect up the correct handbrake cables and you're in business.

Well from what I can see, the lower 2 bolts are wider apart then the upper bolts (like a triangular shape). I can maybe redrill it if there is space on the Corona mounts. I gotta pop down to the wreckers tommorow and have a look.
Thanks for the big help Henn!

Is the backing plate and mount removable on the JDM rear? because it is on the corona.
Is what Henn says about the bolt pattern at the end of the housing being differennt to the normal aussie T-series?
But Ive done the corona setup onto a T-18 rear end, it isnt too hard, maybe you should sell your JDM housing and buy a T-18 one if it is too hard to adapt the Corona rears to the JDM housing.

There is a pair on www.ebay.co.uk that ends in 6 hours. Search under AE86. Currently 15 pounds and 18 pounds (plus postage). Can recommend the seller.

I managed to make them fit without custom mounts! I little bit of angle grinder here and there (again i need pictures to fully explain myself) I think the discs should fit (not sure as i have worn pads on the calipers), if they dont i assume it will only be a few milimetres(due to new pads). If thats the case I will just have the discs machined.
looking good at the moment!!
