Does a CF2 front end bolt straight up to a CF1 body?
« on: October 11, 2010, 01:58:51 PM »
Hi, Im thinking of buying a CF2 front end that already has disc brakes and had a WOF. Will this bolt straight up to my CF1?
Cheers

Unless you already have one in mind good luck to you. They are few and very far between. I've never seen one. The disc brake setup wasn't all that marvellous either. Solid discs.

I have a MK1 beddie, and it came out with dics on from fractory, nothing wrong with them, as good as, if not better then the after market kits...

Yeah I can get a whole front end that has discs and was warranted for $300. Will it bolt straight up?

Doesn't joel have the standard CF discs on his van?

The answer to the mk1 and mk2 questions is yes, you just have to change the mounting plates - mk1 ones bolt upwards, mk2 bolts up and through.

A friend of mine has a set of bedford discs on trade me at the moment (i think he listed them), he's putting HQ discs with audi calipers, hoping to stop a lexus v8
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

David you are right straight swap, but you have to drill a hole though ( rail ) but the front hole bolts up the same, then lower the van and you can then drill the side hole though, it lines itself up because you have the front bolt fitted, know guess work needed...........
