diffs gearboxes n brakes- dust cover needed..celica 5 speed

[Marky]

Hi all

have just put a 12 bolt chevy diff w beddy axels n 10" drums in my van

- a nice new recoed Steel case Celica 5 speed Gearbox
-New clutch...

I need a dust cover to suit the Castlemaine? Dellows Bell housing...

Heard rumours of cutting down the holden one to suit? or any got any info?

Dellows can supply one but they want Mega Bux$$

- also i need to reduce the bore size on my rear wheel cylinders.....

on my last diff i went from Hq downsized to HT...

does anyone know what i downsize on for beddy? is it a mini minor or similar Lockheed part?

Mini cylinders  are exact same, just smaller bore like you thought,
if your using bedford brakes, the mini ones are  exact same fitting.
thats what i used on my white van,
If you want the mini cylinders there is berts brakes at fairfield, nsw
Let me know if you want the address or just google berts brakes fairfield, nsw

why not buy an inline proportioning valve, that way you can tune your brake bias.

Thanks marty....thought the Mini ones were the go...

I already have an inline proportion valve but non adjustable....

I have been thru this whole scenario when i overhauled the brakes...New LJ master XB booster.....had it working perfectly w inline valve

& a reduced bore on the rear holden wheel cylinders..

But as i have changed the diff again...just gonna do the same to this Bedford-Lockheed  brake set up...

Thanks all

Marky re flywheel dust cover used th350 on mine should be a straight bolt up, BUT  mine wasn't a "dellows" but a castlemaine.food for thought..... what master /slave cylinders are you using.....I did a post a while back re these but can't remember at the mo as reseaching something else. I think, master was a XW  and toyota slave..... but search the  forum. dano
