Help needed in the brakes

[mad_man]

Hi, can anyone please help me?? is the rear braking drums can be converted into disk brakes?? If yes, can anyone please tell me how? & if no, is the full rear bar with disc braking system available to buy?? How much it may cost??

drum-to-disc brake conversion

@ mad_man: yes mate. this is all very possible. did it on my NA glanza S conversion & it was superb. take a peek at some of the progress pix.. sorry, no image tags. too lazy..
you'll need to source the parking brake cables too when getting the axle as the drum-type cables don't fit. other than that, all else is compatible. remember to bleed the system when done..

Hi mate, you don't need to change the axle, the drums can be removed and replaced with the calipers/discs. It's pretty close to this conversion done on an EP70:

cable tips

Jay beat me to responding..
the parking brake cables still need to be swapped unless you can replace the stud at the end of the cable on the drum-type setup with a y-notch of sorts to fit the disk-type setup. even if you were to do this, the cable stop (slightly after the tip of the cable) will still need to be swapped to fit the brace on the disk-type setup. take another look at my brake transplant pix if you're confused. makes sense..?
working on tagging them so that they make more sense..
