Chris,
The Toyota conversion that uses the (stock) non-vented rotor uses calipers
from the 1979-83 Toyota 4WD Pickup. The Cardone numbers are 19-820 and
19-821. As you point out, it will probably bolt onto a GT6 (for sure on a
GT6 Mk3 since it uses the TR6 caliper) but I don't know if a 13" wheel will
fit.
The vented Toyota conversion uses a 1986-1988 Toyota Cressida Sedan front
rotor (Raybestos # 96042) with the inner hole bored out to the dimension of
the stock TR6 rotor and calipers from a 1988-mid 1989 4 cylinder Toyota
4Runner. Cardone numbers for these calipers are 19-827 and 19-826. As I do
not believe that the GT6 uses the same rotor as the TR6, the Cressida rotor
would not be a fit for the GT6 (you would need to use a different rotor).
As above, don't know if the caliper would fit the GT6 13" wheel.
Hope this helps,
Hugh Barber

Subject: brake conversions
I'm thinking about John Lye's brake caliper conversion for both my 4A
and GT6+. I have questions:
1. There seems to be no direct evidence that it will work on a GT6,
though it seems it should. Wheel fit is the issue. Does anyone know?
2. I seem to recall that there is a version of this that uses a vented
rotor (maybe from a Cressida) and, obviously, a different caliper.
Details? Work on a GT6?
Thanks,
chris
