Nice. Callipers look great,
Do you plan on getting them signed of by an engineer once installed on your car? |

Really nice. I think if I ever bought a set, I'd be asking if they did their calipers in Ford Blue. After all, only Brembo's are red. (And the other mob.)
BTW you'll have to post some pics up once they're bedded in. I'd like to see the way the zinc plating goes once some heat has been put into 'em. Are the disc vent-castings anything special (ie: kangroo paw-like) or just standard parallel castings? Also, are the spindles just modified standard's or custom-cast jobbies??

to me, calipers should be red, doesnt matter if holden had them, red ftw
dezza, i know where an upright will go in a minute. balljoint and all and the hubs are fabed by them i believe, quite a nice job actually, but im sending mine back to get the 28mm offset ones.

Will be a good idea to paint the disk in some heat proof paint befor installed as they go a awful rusty colour pretty quick. Can be done after wards but needs to be cleaned down more and it basically sucks. Easy to mask up befor hand.

whats the deal with the back wheels? can you fit AU offset on the back of the standard diff? or do you need to pick up an AU diff?

apparently you can fit au wheels on the back depending on how wide, but they would sit in the gaurds a bit.
u dont need to paint them alby, they are electroplated so they wont rust. im gonna try put in an au diff to go along with the spool i have and get the au offset on the rear, all i need to do is measure how wide the au is from the top of the rear arches.

stalker its not hard at all, the mounting points are the same, you do how ever need to play around with hand brake side of things due to the fact au hand brake set up is in the hub rather then pulling the calliper in, not sure exactly how to fix that but a few people have done it.

everything just bolts up the same to get the AU diff in, its just a matter of playing around with the handbrake as 1FLYRYD said...also a matter of finding one lsd anyway..
