O.k. I have heard that "UC" cals will fit on "HR" stubs with "UC" rotars, my question to those that know more than I is, what other torana calipers fit as well with there respective rotars with no major mods involved useing "HR" stubs....

All answers accepted with glee..

i didn't know any fitted with the HR stubs but i know a LH stub and caliper/disk will fit on no worries, used to have these on my EK Wagon with HR front end .... only thing you need to do is get them shimmed up a bit to get the camber back to where it should be.

my V8 EK ute had HR stubs with HR rotors and LH callipers, as far as i know all 13" callipers bolt on, only thing with the setup i had is maybe the LH/LX/UC rotors are thicker than HR which might be a drama when pads wear i never had a problem

I've got some LH/LX/UC discs here at home so will measure the thickness of the braking area of the rotor and let you know the thickness but from memory they are a bit thicker than the HR discs??

I was told by the guy that mechined my "HR" slotted X drilled rotars that they have to be 9 or 12mm ( can't remember ) but mine are at the end of there life, no more machin' for those suckers. That is why the intrest in the torana stuff....

253mm diameter
9.7mm thick on the pad area
50mm from back of disc to wheel mounting face
9mm minimum thickness

Think I've got LH on mine, I've forgotten. But I know they're LH or LX.
