Jamie93DLZ Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 As above are they the same? need to know asap please Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 gt axles are 10-20mm narrower than glanza axles, otherwise the same i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie93DLZ Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Cheers morgey... Was thinking off getting the gt axle and taken the hubs of it and putting them on the sr beam :/ but would it work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 no the hubs are welded to the beam unfortunately, so the mounting points for the calipers wont be on the drum rear beam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie93DLZ Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Im across the water tho mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 very little to yield in doing this, more so an aesthetic thing...pump the money elsewhere id say but yeah the GT axle is shorter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Axles are the same size. Its a visual illusion that their different.Yes you can bolt all the gt/glanza parts to your SR axle. Go look at the rear camber thread and youll see four bolts that hold the caliper bracket on a gt and hold the rear of your drum on a SR. drum brakes rule! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This is a bare axle. That stub and plated are welded on. Those four holes hold the caliper carrier plate and in turn the caliper.Stub holds the disc with build in bearings. Big nut goes on job done. Rear calipers seaze, it dont know why. Ive a gt setup to strip down and clean so Ill take better photos then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Dont want to start and arguement rmsnoel but I've deffinately seen a thread with a tape measure involved theres a difference in the thickness of the plate that the stub axle is mounted on meaning overall track of the car is slightly wider.Yep here it is dude, not a lot of difference but theres a small amount in widthhttp://board.tercelonline.com/viewthread.php?action=printable&tid=39844But just looking you are correct about using the n/a axle and fitting disc cariers etc and here is a guide on how to fit the disc package to the drum axle for any reference you may need people, just instead of faffing with the handbrake cables make sure you have gt/glanza ones and you will be fine.http://www.tercelreference.com/articles/rear_brake_conversion/rear_brake_conversion.htmlThat should wrap this up now hopefully Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 glanza and gt handbrake cables are different sizes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mini1.3 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 not worth the hassle mate maintain your drums clean them inside get rid of dust etc paint the outside about 4 layers bolt them back on looks loads better and will work fine dont fix if it aint broke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
