Toyota Brake Caliper conversion ?

[PeterK]

no not from Ted either but i do like his braided hose idea; the only trouble with the braided lines as i see them is the extra adapter the screws in, rather than being attached directly. imo, it's an(other) opportunity for leaks.

it looks like (do not know for a fact) he uses an std. AN3 (jic) to AN3 hose and then an AN3 to metric M-M adapter. AN3 has a 3/16" UNF thread that will fit the TR but AN3 is 37degrees and TR uses a 42 degreee inverted flare fitting. to solve the flare angle diff, pegasus racing sells a little copper flare crush tip for about .70.

anyway, i'll keep looking.

I just bought mine from TSI. As I talked with him he remarked that he needed to try to get the word out that he had these for sale. His website is a little /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

TRF has the late model bolts with the metric shank that will bolt up the toyota calipers, current price is $5.75 each-- part number (not in their regular catolog) is 158668. Victoria British wants $8.95 each

Old thread, but I stumbled on another source for those hard brake lines for anyone contemplating the conversion:

those (hard lines) are the ones I thought macysgarage sold. thanks for finding them, it was driving me crazy searching for the line. duh ... trparts.com

when I fab'ed my own, I tried this design and found that at full lock the "hoop part" would interfere with my coil springs, so I bent the hoop up 90 degrees. it was a much harder bend since these lines are so small but it works. I guess it's another reason to consider flexible SS lines but these would have to be tied off to prevent fouling on the suspension too.
