Will the front brakes off an 85 350x fit on an 86? Im pretty sure the rears wont...but im not sure about the front.

85 and 86 are the same on the front as far as bolting up i dont know all of the other little details.

The rears may be interchangable ONLY IF YOU WELD THE SWINGER. I technically have a rear w/an 85 sprocket hub and axle, 86 carrier and brakes on an 86 swinger. But i'm sure if its the only thing you have either one will work they just mount 100% differently to the swingarm. As far as i know the carriers have the same outside diameter where the bracket slides over so that part wont change.

Did that make any sense? Either way you have to have an entire rear 85 or 86 setup, the calipers and mounts aren't interchangable, but the swingarms could be modfied to work...

Because the EBAY rear calipers come WITH the mounting bracket which changed from 85 to 86.
