Otto,

I saw "breaks" and your name next to the post. I apologize, I thought you were slipping.
Since he is German I guess we ought to give him a break, no pun intended ;-). He has already proven to me that his English is much better than my German.

The rear discs look nice and new!
Is the emergency brake operated with a set of brake shoes inside the disc?
How does the caliper bracket fit over the part of the wheel bearing that stick out of the diff housing - is the original, square bearing retaining plate still used?
I can see that the gold caliper bracket is made so that it can fit on either end of the diff - there is a spare set of caliper mounting holes on each one.
Nice!

Yes, the half shafts have to be taken out of the axel - of course new half shaft bearings are needed for this ... I just ordered some because I didn't know before
the original, square bearing retaining plate is still used but the small edge needs to be cutted of.

Looking at the bolt pattern they are for a late model diff. Don't forget the O ring seals and bearing retainers if your replacing the bearings. How many Euros where they? And yes how does the emergency brake work?

A lot of work gone into that diff - love the red springs and yellow shock absorbers! The disc brake set-up looks neat too.

Hello,
That's one fantastic restoration/upgrade you've got there.And now I see you're in GERMANY................life's not fair, I'm struggling to find a headgasket for a 20S here in Malaysia and finally bought a headset for a C24NE just for the headgasket
But I do have the neat yella Konis on my Manta A with factory Manta A SR coils all around
Have a good week.

I'm a bit rusty on my German. Which kit is it on the page?

Can I purchase this from/through you, and have it shipped to the US?

thanks, GT-72!

Hi, you can get the Brakes at : http://www.wds-tuning.de/
direkt to http://www.wds-tuning.de/bremsteile.html
I´m sure they will ship to you - would be cheaper than first ship to me and then to you.

Going to have to be sure to take good pictures of the Isuzu transplant for the web too now

Along with cleaning the rear axle, etc..
