    Red face VX brake setup on VP

    Can i simply swap over rotors, calipers and wheels from the front of a VX to my VP without any other mods? I can have this setup for free only if i can put
    the VP setup back onto the VX... The VX will endup being sold off for scraps
    anyways, Just needs to run safetly for a few more kms...

    Cheers.... Thanks in advance... Top forum... Very helpfull.....

    you difinitly need the adaptor and mod brake lines, you can get way without the booster and bigger mastercylinder but you will have a lot of pedal travel. most people who do this conversion stick with there original brake booster but fit the larger 1" master cylinder of the V8 model which is a direct bolt-on job

    bungle the vp has studded rotors with wheel bearings w/as the vr to vz has floating hats [that is the rotors glide over the studs ]you would have to do a strut conversion as the vr changed the strut bearing config and lost the vn/vp hub bearing spindle, have heard of sport struts that can go into vn with vt style hubs but cant remember where to get them sorry
