Restoreids VH/VX/VJ disc brake converstion

[SubduedGoGetter]

Hi there.. It has currently had the rear dual wheels replaced with singles if thats any help. I'm currently in Tas at the moment but organize something. I have big plans for it and am serious about doing it right. It wiill still be at least 6-12 months before I start major work on the beast but want to gather as much info as possible. I would love to see your van sometime

Awesome post, Hey restoreid, i did a castlemaine disc brake conversion and no matter what we do, the pedal is still spongy - i've even taken it to a brake specialist with only minor improvement - still running the same master and booster with an in line proportioning valve..............any suggestions??

Sorry I havent got back to you guys earlier But I have just had eye surgery & cant see a bloddy thing Go Getter Tasy a we are supposed to be over there right now but it wasnt to be next year hopefully Is the diff a bedford or something else It is best to keep the front & rear brakes off the same model car Thats why my diff is VR to match the VR front discs The booster & master cylinder are standard beddie & work great     


Mezz Dont know wats going on there I had that trouble at first but a good bleed fixed that Start at the wheel the furtherest from the master cylinder which would be pas rear then driv rear then pas front then driv front  maby that proporting valve is shutting off when you pump the peddle up & not letting flued through to the rear wheels Had that trouble with a Mini years ago & just opened up the valve in each rear wheel & slowly pumped the pedal till all the air was gone  Give that a try & see how it goes Cheers Blind Reid

if the bore is too small on the master cylinder it will be spoungy.. i, not sure what standard is.  id look at enlarging the bore to a 1inch bore?

I think the bore in the beddie is 1inch
