I swear I've seen, some time ago, an info page on this site which listed all of the components that you could swap between the RD1 and the RD2. I tried searching but I can't find that page.

Basically, I need to know whether the RD2 knucke/spindle will fit the RD1. My guess is yes, but I just want to be sure before I buy it.

 

I don't see why not. The XD/XD2 spindles are interchangeable.

Try looking around for pictures of both taken apart to see if they look similar.

 

Taken from the new user FAQ

Q: Will [this] part from an RD1 fit on an RD2? Vice versa.
A: On the outside, the front fenders and side skirts are compatible. Everything else is unique to the specific generation. Interior, the gauges will not work. Shift surround can work, however it may look out of place. Stereo surround will fit also, but won't match the dash correctly. Seats, cargo cover, and center console all should work without a hitch. Front and rear strut bars are compatible, as is headers, intake, cams, cold air intake (exc. REV A Tibs) and pretty much anything else mechanical will work, i.e. struts.

 

Confirmed, I've done the switch to have floating rotors on all 4 wheels instead of the captive rotors up front wink1.gif

Plug & play, unless is rusted lol.

 

bullfrog, that was the link I was referring to :-)



cool, thanks! :-)

You guys are the best!!

 

that little thing i put in the FAQ thread should prolly be better written. i may do that soon. haha

but yea, the knuckle will work just fine. and i was gonna mention the whole captive rotor swap thing for proof smile.gif

 

Actually, Sparticus, I found that portion of the FAQ to be really helpful. At a glance, it tells you pretty much what's interchangeable between the RD1 and RD2.

And, yeah, it makes sense, the captive rotor swap is definite proof.
