I wouldn't just use the holden drums I would do away with the entire bedford drum setup
and replace with holden setup - parts would be cheap and easily available...

[ben]

may as well go disc. not much extra effort

[Jock]

No need to have disc in the rear, 80% braking power in the front, 20% in the rear.
Drums would be less work than disc.

im with ben on that 1,
if uve already got the holden stud pattern its not much work fitting disks, and parts are more readly available and easier to service.
all u have 2 do is sorce some statesman rear disks n calopers and weld the brackets on ur axle housing.

[able]

hang on slow down...

are you telling me its that simple to put holden on the back?

if the answer is yes then can someone give a blow by blow how to do?

[Marishka]

go n have a look at a statesman HQ=WB disk brake diff.
the disk is a seperate piece that goes on the wheel studs,
so baseically u loose the drum brakes n backing plate, n use the holden disk brake parts.

ud need to put the disk on and tighten up the wheel nuts holding the disk in the right position then fit the brackets to the calopers and place the setup true onto the disk,(make a setup to pump fluid into the calopers so it holds the disk tight then weld the brackets 2 the axle housing.....

you would need the master cyl n booster from the system 2.


ask ben he,s done it recently i believe......

[matty]

as easy as the rear disk sound to fit I would think that modifying the holden backing plate to suit the bedford axle
housing should be a fairly easy thing to do and a fair bit cheaper (parts wise) as well.

saying that, I've never compared the two to see hom much work is involved. just quessing.

[Jock]

Anyone got a set of Bedford 10 inch drums?

Cheers

Jock
