And if you use the FTO hub/knuckle the camber will be wrong. The LCA is 18mm longer on an FTO and would fix the camber issues but make the wheels stick further out by a bit.
You should also mention that when going from rear drum to disc you should get a prop valve from an FTO or such otherwise (like it was on my car) the brake distribution is 91/9 whereas ideally I think 70/30 is desired.
Also, changing the brake master cylinder if going twin pots. Either 15/16" or 1" but the booster may need to be changed as well I believe for this to work.
Thanks for that, i thought something was missing regarding the FTO swap.
Is the valve necessary when any drum is converted to disc?
It will work with the existing brake valve but the rear brakes will be doing almost no work so it's a good idea to use one from an FTO.
When I took my car over the pits, it was going to fail because of the rear brakes being overly weak, but I was sneaky and pulled the handbrake up while no one was watching.
