David K Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 ok i have a little problem. I busted my driver side rear caliper seal on my 79 during a burnout contest. Now, heres what im trying to do. I removed the stock 79 zx calipers to do a rebuild. I checked everywhere and all auto part stores do not stock rebuild kits. i went ahead and took good calipers off an 83 turbo. to my sad realization, the 83 turbo calipers will NOT work at all now as we all know, the turbo has the special halfshalfs. Can i take the control arms off the 83, bolt them on my 79, change the hub, and use these calipers. basically what im trying to find out is if the turbo control arms are same specs as the n/a. im also wondering if the brake lines will screw into one another once i get the 83 in the 79 place. ack! to make is simple, can i use the 83 control arms with the brake lines in my 79 if i change the hub from the cv halfshafts to my r200 halfshafts? whew, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
