My Vl Turbo Conversion

[vl boi]

with this conversion do u just use the drum brake axles

Ok a little update,
Just done the Drum Rear Conversion to Disk Rear on the L Quite a straight easy process if u have access to a press for the Bearings and collars to be pressed on the axles your laughin'

Start
All parts are from a VN Commodore. Callipers, Rotors, Backing Plates(hand brake cable is not compatible) New Bearings+Collars
Drums On, Car Jacked Up

Drums Off, Bolts Retaining Axles Out, Rip axles out. Remove Handbrake Cable as this one dont work with disk rears. Need a Disk rear Handbrake Cable.
Axles Out
Collars and Bearings Removed

New Collars and Bearing Pressed on + Thicker seal(Disk Rear Seals)

Bolt Backing Plates on, Slide in Axles Bolt in and put on Disk Rotor

Calliper Bolted on Re'route Brake lines and attach Flex Hoses., Bleed Brakes, Then Attach Handbrake Cable(Disk rear One)

Wheels on, Best to dump Diff oil and new gasket on rear cover and top up Diff oil.

Off ya go

Kept the Master Cylinder which is 15/16 and pedal feel is unbelievable compared to drum rears, Dont see the need to upgrade it to a 1" master cylinder, the Vn's used the 15/16 as well,
Im guessing the 1" is even better stopping power, and may as well go the booster as well as this is double diaphram. But im not........YET
Cheers

Sure do. If you read through it you will notice I never mention I'm using different axles. They work fine as long as u use disk rear bearings, collars and seals
