Jag front end commodore disc conversion

Post by fatoztina40 »

Hey guys wondering if anyone has changed front discs on a s3 jag front over to commodore brakes? Is there anyone who makes a conversion kit? Or is it a simple swap? Thanks

Um I changed my XJ6 front end to Ford Discs easily as they have same Wheel Bearings and the Stud Axle just needed machining to fit the Ford Disc on it, the Stud Axle is Bolted to the front end and is easy to remove it.

Why would you bother. They are 4 piston calipers already and stop very well

By chance can you remember how long was the sleeve the seal runs on was in your conversion? I've done the same but can't decide on the correct length of this sleeve.
