So, I'm going to upgrade the brakes on my Tiger. I have seen some upgrades for other English cars, I figure a Tiger should be the same as any other old English Auto. I've read about Toyota 4x4, Volvo 240's and some from a Rover, I would like to stay with Girling, but the conversion that is the simplist will win. I know there are Wilwood, and other hi-tech, hi dollar conversions out there, but Im looking for a more modest set-up. Does anybody have experence with the Toyotas, or Volvo's calipers?
I know the volvo are 4 piston and will require some work as they have 2 hydraulic lines, but they are relatively cheap to get from a junk yard(if you can find them). just fabricating a bracket may be your challenge. I have been considering volvo brakes on my alpine to tiger conversion, but have not reached that stage of the project yet. good luck
I went with Areo Space on the front of my Tiger took some work, but I was lucky i had the use of my sponsers machine shop to bore out the hubs to fit the bearings and also I had to make my own brackets. They work great, but took some work to get them on.
I also did the rear with disk that come from a must. but then again took some machining and had to make my own brackets.
I don't know of any just simple ways to redo brakes on a Tiger.
