if your changing the rear trailing arms you'd be as well converting it to disk brakes on the rear. its a straight forward job just a case of changing the rear trailing arms for ones from a 325,318is, cabby or touring. change the hand brake cable and renew the brake pipes which I'm sure you'd be doing any how if your changing the rear trailing arms

[jonesye30]

if i put on the trailing arms off a 325, the hub with disk, and caliper would i have to use the brake pipes off a 325 or just renew the old ones? also would the hand brake cable have to be off a 325????? cheers

[jonesye30]

just thought id drop a few new pics in on how its going!

[jonesye30]

[jonesye30]
