A simple search would have found the answer yes to all your questions

Lol no worries. This site is pretty quick when mobile browsing, there's very little bloat so it should load quickly even on a modest connection.

ask your friend who lives near you and is doing the same thing next week....
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion - KrisB - 30-12-2011
The chances are you'll need a new brake pipe or two anyway! I can make my own copper brake pipes, comes in very handy!
Handbrake cables are also different.
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion - Dan - 30-12-2011
yea i can imagine ill need a few new brake pipes im hoping to do it at work so i can make them if i need to

soz mate didnt really think about it lol
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion - Connor - 30-12-2011
If the axle is complete, you won't need any brake pipes
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion - Dan - 30-12-2011
i think krisb is on about the ones that go from the master cylinder to the load valve that ive got to undo as they have a terrible habbit of seizing up and twisting when you try and take them off
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion (now not urgent) - KrisB - 30-12-2011
And what if the car you're fitting the disc beam too is a phase1 and doesnt have a load compensator on the drum beam? :p
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion (now not urgent) - Connor - 30-12-2011
Don't worry about it^^ I never!

This is how mine was ^^
My rear brake lines were probably originals so I gave them a good dose of WD40 on the unions under the spare wheel 3 days in a row before the beam came off and they undid perfectly with no rounding at all. It was from these 2 unions that I had to make up my own lines to the load compensator. Looks wise it is a complete fail, lol I had never done it before and wasn't sure how much to bend the copper before it creased so the bends are very long! Ill get a pic up for lols at some point. - But it works!!!!
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion (now not urgent) - KrisB - 01-01-2012
Theoretically speaking, if you don't have a load valve then the master cyclinder should be doing the bias for you i beleive.
Dan86... you need to be carefull with the brake lines. They need to be shaped well and secure enough for an mot. If the tester doesn't like the look of the lines he'll fail it.

Cheers for the heads up. Ive got my MOT on the 15th. If it only fails on that I will be happy. I can then either pay someone to make me the correct ones or have another go myself. It was just a bodge to get it on tbh, it is safe to drive but I know what you mean.

Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion (now not urgent) - Seb_Ryan - 01-01-2012
I got away without changing any brake pipes (from ph2 dts drums to ph3 hdi discs) as it didnt have the compensator on the ph3 beam, so just swapped the whole lot over
Re: URGENT disc rear beam conversion (now not urgent) - Dan - 01-01-2012
well im hoping the pipes on the car should be ok, but as seen as my mot isnt for a few months im in no extreme rush to get the beam on so im thinking about changing all the pipes, hoses, discs, pads and mounts before i fit it so i know it will be ok for the mot
