- VN exec wagon v8 VN sv3800 5 speed
So I picked up this vr the other day and the front hubs were rattly and the front discs in rather sorry shape so I decided to go for a vt front brake conversion after having a vn v8 wagon with them before.
So I have already got a hold of some new dba t2 slotted vt rotors, hub rings to center the vt disc on the vr hub, vt calipers etc but I am having trouble deciding which way to go with the master and booster.
I still have the master and booster from my old setup (booster is the same double diaphram v8 as what is currently installed on my vr) but the master from my old setup is a vn 1" and the one on my vr is a 15/16 but the problem there is that the vn 1" master has 3 outlets, 2 on the front end of the master and one on the rear where as in the VR 15/16 with abs, there is only 2 in total one on the front and one on the back. so I dont believe I can use my old master and booster. or can I rig it up some how?
then I considered doing a vs plastic booster with a vt master cylinder and the vs reservior but the booster is alot wider than the origional and I am worried it will foul on the clutch cable where it comes out of the firewall as its already pretty close to the factory booster and also worried it may foul on the rocker cover as again its already close. has anyone pulled this off before?
any help would be greatly appreciated fellas,have to take this thing over rego in a couple weeks.
