VT Rear Brakes To VN?

[Dan355]

Hey, Just want to know whats involved with fitting rear vt brakes to a vn?

[vnv8driver]

What's on the front? just remember that 70-80% of your braking is at the front end, so itf the front is stock get that done first.

No point... same brakes dude....

VT Rears are not any better....

That and they wont fit anyway!

aZk.

I have a 330mm PBR kit on the front with VT master/booster to correct brake bias. Rears at the moment are just slotted/cross drilled. Need it engineered (brake test) as im keeping the rears standard. I wont need to spend cash on the brake test if i can use the vt rears, hence my question. Cheers!

You can fit them mate, you just need the Harrop backing plates and handbrake setup. If you are going to the trouble of doing this though I would look at the HSV 315mm setup mate, which is what came with the HSV 330mm fronts.

Ah yea. I wonder how that would go engineering wise? I read that it adjusts the track by 6mm?

Not sure on the exact amount, but yes it will alter the rear track. Maybe email Harrop for some info.

They may want 315mm rears as well for engineering anyway as thats what came with the 330mm fronts on the HSV's as Airstrike said. 330mm fronts with stock sized rear brakes wouldn't impress the engineer much I wouldnt think.

Because it's not a factory option on the car it will need the report regardless.

What is used on VT- one tonners?

i think surfwagon has this on his wagon. i think he even did a "howto"

A report is needed but not a test.

Cheers mate. I think ill go with just the standard rears. Not very keen on increasing my track + getting a report for it would be a headache.
