rear disc brakes for 120s?[ALL/1998] posted by Brian Killins on

Has anyone put disc brakes on the rear of either 120 sedan or station wagon? Please provide some detail of you experience if you have.
Thanks in advance.

If you have a '67-70 122, RDB swap is an easy one. Just get a '70- up P1800 E/ES rearend and bolt it on. Bolt pattern will be different, though. Earlier 122s and wagons are more difficult but it's been done. For these I use Toyota 4-cyl pic-up truck rearend with drum brakes. Comes with the same bolt pattern, too.

Topi: That is great. The sedan is a '69, so that will be relatively easy. The station wagon is a '66, and it is the one I'd like to do first. You mentioned the Toyota axle, which still has drum brakes. Do you recommend it just because the parts are easier to obtain and less expensive? And did you mean the bolt pattern is the same as the 122, or the later E/ES?

Yes - Toyota is easy to find, strong and cheap. Wheel bolt pattern is the same as 122. E/ES has different pattern. You need to change it or have two different kind of wheels. If you have to have RDB, go for Mustang GT with discs.(On your wagon).
