Torana front end
Page 1 of 1
Thinking about fitting a Torana front end to my EK... looking at the above drawings of the EK and Torana sub frames it would appear the Torana has some degree of 'built in' caster ?

Thanks for the link Keith......I read that thread sometime ago, from memory there isn't any info regarding the original Torana FE mounting angle .ehsv6 wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2020 1:39 pm http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php?topic=13343.0

Yes indeed there is angle on the Torana front body whilst the FB EK subframe has zero angle.
I have installed a Torana front end in my EK and you have to section it to obtain the correct caster angle.

I put one in my fj holden and used the standard rubbers for the fj the two back rubbers are thicker than the front ones which angles the front end down at the back. cheers Gary.

Thanks for the replies Gents.......I've tracked down a Torana rail similar to the one above, it should provide the info I'm looking for.
