Andy Borris Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Will MK2 rear brake cylinders fit and work correctly on a MK1 back plate?I ask, because what I thought was a MK2 rear suspension and brake system on my MK1 car now seems to be a hybrid of MK2 arms and MK1 brakes!So the new cylinders I've purchased are wrong, or will they work? And am I right in assuming that all MK2 cars had self adjusting rear shoes?ThanksAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Mk2 have self adjust mechanism though often not very effective. Mk1 manual adjust. Not sure whether cylinders are interchangeable but pretty sure they have different part nos so probably not.Ironically, if you want to run big wheels you'd be better off with Mk1 rear end.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's a common conversion. MkII trailing arms and longer half-shafts (allows the Datsun conversion to fit as well) and MkI brakes (easier to adjuster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
