hi
has anyone tried to fit el rear disc to disc to an xf panelvan

probably has been done
u'd need a rear tailshaft yoke from an ef el too
then modify an xh ute/van hand brake cable and rear brake pipe setup?
cant see it being too hard

ok i have completeish wagon just bought panelvan found rear brake adjusters us do you know if vans came out with rear discs or will the sedan rears fit

what is wrong with the drum adjusters?
i have the gt finned rear drums in the xr and they work pretty well,

the xh ute/vans had discs, sedan ones will bolt up too

u could use the el wagon disc aluminium brackets off the diff and mount them onto the xf diff im pretty sure, then bolt the el calipers straight on, would need to swap the brake pipes over as i mentioned before and use the el discs too (drill and tap the xf axle flange to hold the disc on)
would just be a matter of setting up the handbrake etc

im maybe going to modify this style rear disc setup into my XR later on in the year

just drove it back from townsville with noise in rear drivers side van didnt have jack or brace got home found noise was adjuster floating around in drum also some fencing wire from prvious owners repair job//////drum survived still usable wheel cylinder ok ///// needs shoes get adjuster from pullets just wondered as i am wrecking the el if it was worth keeping the rear end... will be using what i can ie seats etc

I installed an ED wagon Diff into an XF ute. iirc, it was around 15mm wider in total.

However the leaf springs were the same width apart.

You also have to be carefull with brake lines, XF runs Imperial where as E-series are Metric.
I got a pipe made at a local shop that was imperial to Metric.



You sure your cars an XF? I was under the assumption XF utes/panel vans stopped in 91.

and XG's was 92, I could be wrong!

just doble checked compliance plate 03/92 xf panel van
thanx for the info
