« on: April 26, 2012, 12:30:07 PM »
Hey I have an 1982 suzuki sj 410 with drum brakes all around, cant find any pads for it, but I can find Samauri brake pads, will they fit?

Thanks!

I would highly doubt that 410 and 413 (samurai) brake shoes would interchange.  If nothing else, look both up online on an auto parts store website and see if they use the same part number.

Have you tried checking with local auto parts stores?  Sometimes it is surprising what they can get for parts.
If they don't carry anything, you could try rockauto.com.  They usually have good prices and a good variety of parts for many vehicles.

You should give Trail Tough a call.  They picked up Hawk Suzuki's old inventory so they should have plenty of odd old Suzuki parts.  I used to call Hawk whenever I needed something SJ-410 specific.

Samurai's have front disc brakes, so if your SJ410 has drums all around, the answer is no.  Later SJ410's ('84 on, I believe) had front disc brakes, and I believe these are the same as Samurai fronts.  The rear drums may be the same as well. 

Unless you are trying to keep your SJ all original, it is pretty easy to swap Samurai brakes on.  You'll get much better braking, larger/stronger birfields, and hubs you can unlock (saving drivetrain wear.)

If you want to keep it original, you can have your shoes relined.  For LJ's, it is cheaper to reline your old shoes than to buy new ones.

Yeah my dad has an 84 and it has front disc, I'm not trying to keep it original she's just gonna be a hunting buggy, I did some research and measuring and I think the rear pads from an 88 sj413 are the same, so I ordered them and they came in today, I'll know tonight if they will fit. My hubs are lockable and unlockable but I would like to get more breaking power, is there anywhere I can find out how to do the swap?

Thanks

I believe the outer spline on the SJ-410 axle shafts is the same as the Samurai, in which case you could just swap from the knuckle out.  But someone more familiar with the pre-84 SJ-410's would have to jump on and verify.  I had an 84 so already had the disk brakes and such.
