Front brakes

Post by Bessie the camper »

Hi all

Just a quick question

I had all new front brakes ( disks and calipers) on my 1989 van which I'm now scraping I was wondering if I can change the lot over to my new van which is a 1984 gipsy

Like Kev says you'll have to change the hub, it can be done though

Top wishbone off
Lower ball joint off
Brake house off
Tie rod off
Track rod off then swap them over
You can say alot of of things with "ar"

If the hard work doesn't put you off I certainly think it would benefit from the newer/better brakes.
Don't forget to change the flex's as well.
