No, the arm swaps over. It's held on with a split pin from the pics I've seen.
You could always give them a ring beforehand to confirm.

Unfortunately they don't have a pic on their website so I can't say if they come with the arm or not.
The Japanese one's you have to swap over but as yours are riveted I assume they come with one.
I would give them a ring :thumbup:

Thoughts on transmission disc brake conversion

Post by Darby » Wed May 14, 2014 7:01 pm

Hi, my truck currently has a drum brake on the transmission box as the handbrake and im finding nearly impossible to find new shoes that are the right size and have all the holes in the right places, so now thinking of putting a disc brake kit on to replace it and just wanted people thoughts on this and is it a good thing to do? iv seen you can get a set off X-Eng will this fit a SJ410 Santana?

Many Thanks
Simon.

I take it Brakesinternational couldn't help , even though they list them for the spanish built.

For this kind of money I would just get them relined.

no didn't have any luck with them, thanks for the advice though, I did also think about getting them relined which is still an option.
Ok thanks for those links will have a look into them and see what I can come up with.

Hi did we work out that you have jap shoes?
I have an early jap 410 transfer box that might have those shoes in it
They are part work but the drum brake definitely works

Where are you? If you want to come pick them up you can just take them

I have been playing around with Spanish and jap drums today. Does the adjuster on the backing plate say suzuki or girling on it?
