Default 13" brake conversion done in under a hour!
This has got to be the simplest upgrade out there. Went from 12" solid rear disc to 13" ventilated along with new calipers fitted under the hour including bleeding and getting the tools out and put away! :thup2:



Fitted these lovely rotors and calipers off a Ford 4wd or 2wd Territory.



You can see the size difference from the Ford Falcon BA ones I had fitted before. And in there lies the secrete of the quick install! Had that conversion already done about a year ago :wavin2:



Only two bolts aside and the same brake hose fitted back on. The handbrake etc is all left as is along with the backing plate etc.





Fills my 17" wheels nicely doesn't it.

Looks like a good swap, been thinking of doing a disc conversion for a while ( no hand brake) one question BA falcons have a snot handbrake does this fix it ? or would a ZJ / WJ set up be the go,
