I have a trailer that has original hubs from toyota - hj75 hubs.
I want to add disc rotors so I can have brakes on the trailer. Can I purchase the disc rotors and will the rotors just slip over the hubs or do the wheel studs get knocked in from behind the disc rotors and then through the hubs thus sandwiching the disc rotor to the hub.
I intend to then use some commodore calipers mounted on a sturdy bracket welded to the axle.
Seems possible. Just wondering how the disc rotors will fit on.
Cheers

Hi , why not just buy an electric brake kit to bolt onto the axle, It should cost about $300 for the kit. Regards Keith

The axle is a custom made 70x70 shaft to suit landcruiser bearings and hubs.

I think they are the same setup as my 105
The discs sit on the hub located by the wheel studs and held on by a screw just like brake drums.
Any Landcruiser 6 stud disc should fit, even 80 series, front or rear.
You may want to look at XD -E- F Ford rear callipers as they have a handbrake built into the calliper unlike Commodore that have a separate set of shoes for an internal drum.
Have fun

thanks Dru
Want to keep it simple and not involve a separate brake cable - will just use the lever that is part of the tow hitch and a brick when
parking the trailer.

you may have to change the wheel studs (longer) you had to on the FJ45 to fit disc,s on rear as the std drum was a lot thinner. you can buy the hole kit from dunbier & a lot of other trailer supply company's & all you will have to make is the custom mount plate to your axle

I would suggest you give Martins Trailers a call they are in Bayswater WA or O’Conner WA. They have always been very helpful with me on several trailer builds. They should be able to tell you what suits and some simple fixes for the curly issues that arise..

Hi Craig
I did call Martins Trailers - they don't stock genuine toyota parts. I have an axle that requires genuine toyota parts.
I can buy after market toyota disc rotors cheaper than Martin's trailer parts can supply their hubs/ disc rotors.
Thanks anyway.
