Hi mate
What stub axles are you using to mount the 75 series calipers and did you have much drama with them.
They look great mate and love the stance on your sedan would love to see more photos.

They are just hg stubs mate and all I had to do was mill I think 6mm of each half of the caliper to centralise it on the disc

That's a cool looking octopus (sextopus??), Gledge. I like the rest of your upgrades, too.

Cheers,

John

I did bits of them but a mate did the most of them.. getting the lengths right was real complicated because the pipes are 1 5 and 3 into one collector and 6 2 and 4 into the other should sound a fair bit different than anything else out there..
