howdy my lj was factory drum brake front
and a couple of years ago i put a disk brake front plus booster/master off a lc on it.
ive never really been happy with the brakes (all looks fine pads/shoes and about 2 months ago i put new wheel cylinders on)
so it seams two brake 90% front also the brake pedal doesn't return all the way not allways (i have to lift it about half an inch with my foot!)
any ideas.....cheers

Did you also fit the correct small wheel cylinders & matching shoes on the rear, when you did the conversion ?

When you fitted the new rear cylinders, can you remember if there were 2 push rods from the cylinders to the shoes, or did the pistons butt up directly to the shoes.

The proportioning valve half-way along the chassis is only seen on the HQ series. HJ & later Holdens (including LH-LX Toranas) have theirs mounted with the differential switch block on the RH inner guard.
