Parts list for rear disc conversion
stay with your
original stub axle (CVCC/1200 are the same)
you get yourself a caliper bracket from a '84-'87 prelude SI
(#5/6 in the 1st pic)
You then also need the
caliper bracket from the prelude (due to close mounting
holes) (the bracket that the bolt #35 goes into.. 2nd pic)
You can use the later
calipers but must have the prelude caliper brackets (pic
above) (the caliper spacing is all the same on the two
mounting studs (#22/38.. 3rd pic)
You can use any rear
hub from a civic '88 and newer(#1.. 4th pic) the only
difference is that rear disc hubs have the threaded
locations to bolt the disc in place
You must machine the
outer lip to accept the 1st gen outer bearing, and then
place washer's between the new outer bearing and the
original inside bearing( this is required so the bearings
are not crushed when tightened)
You also need to double up the factory collar, in order to
center the rotor in the caliper(#1.. 5th pic)
I usually run the
caliper on the backside of the rotor, the e--brake mounting
bracket is not used, you can use your original brake line
hole as emergency brake cable mount, the brake cables can be
used from any Honda with rear disc
You also need the e--brake handle and cable ( 6th pic)
No bias control is needed.. the braking is perfectly
matched.. the stock master works fine, but for even better
braking power, upgrade the master to a '86-'89 Acura legend
booster/master, it's either a 7/8 or 15/16 bore. it's a bolt
on, the only thing required is re--bending the brake lines
to the opposite side of the master, and enlarging the holes
in the firewall one size bigger and voila.
The washer's that go
between the two bearings only need to be as big as the 1200
outer bearing (inside diameter to fit the shaft) the outside
diameter must be smaller than the 1200 outer bearing,
basically it will act as a cushion when you tighten down the
nut .
