Brake system in an EH - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

EH179 · 10-07-2008, 06:17 PM

I have an eh holden that I have just put a disc brake front end and a brake booster in it.
I was wanting to know do i have to change the brake cylinders in the rear drums of the car.

yes, youll have to try and match the wheel cylinders to what the donor fronts were using, have a look at hoppers stoppers.com.au, theres a heap on there about early girl brakes.

yes..to disc brake type ones
which coz you have a booster and the line pressures
are higher...are smaller in ID

usual fix is the rear ones from HK-HGs with front discs
..most brake shops (ABS or Hoppers as mentioned can help)

cheers

Someone told me that i would have to put 9/16 cylinders in the back because i have 11/13 in there know and if i keep them it will lock up.
