Rear brakes (again) will sierra drums fit with bolt on type drive shafts
I was going to fit rear disks / cals to my car, (under 13" wheels) but after talking with a lot of people on here they reasure me that drums are
more than good enough.
I am running a lsd out of a sierra with the bolt on type shafts, using these shafts is it possible to simple remove the disk brake rear hub / bearing
carrier etc, and replace it with the drum set up, will these shafts fit into the drums ok etc.
Sorry if this is stupid question just have only ever worked at one sierra set up and its the one i have on my car at present.
I meant to add i have read this post, and i'm now even more confused lol

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Mine has an LSD with bolt on shafts and drums.
I simply cut the caliper mounts off the bearing carrier and it all bolted together no problem.

I don't think the stub axles are the same diameter (certainly the wheel bearings are different sizes) which might cause problems?

The problem I have had with trying to do the same is the fact the drum backplates catch on my uprights, and adding spacers caused more problems. But I
think thats more down to the design of the Striker hubs/wishbones.
IIRC some one here (coozer maybe?) on an MNR simply used the disk brake hubs & carriers, cut the calliper brackets off, fitted them over the
backplates and then fitted the drums over the top.
(edit - took too long to type!)

correct, but you can use the diskbrake carriers, hubs and bearings and mount the drums to the disk brake hubs.

Yep, just use your existing hubs and carriers but lop off the lugs for the caliper. I have a rear drum setup here (drums, backplate, shoes, wheel
cyls) if you're interested?
