:)Yes the HR diff will fit, required to change rear wheel cyclinders to match front discs to get pass rego, brake lines have to be changed as rear lines are smaller from memory

Rossy, so long as you use the rear end from a HR that originally had a d/b front end, you dont need to change the wheel cylinders. If you only have a rear end from a drum brake car, then you will need to get new wheel cylinders.
Also use the complete brake lines from an FB/EK as these will fit the FC body as well as fitting the HR front and rear wheel cylinders.

We had an FC wagon from new until 1986 in the ACT. I ended up with HR front and rear ends, plus 186 motor and diff centre from an HK. All these mods I did while at school in the early 1970s so my mother could not drive it anymore. It looked and sounded absolutely stock apart from alloy wheels, but it went like stink - a real sleeper. Finally, it disappeared to Tasmania with 200,000 miles on it. I only just gave away a full set of factory FC and EH shop manuals in pristine condition at Christmas.
The brake hose threads on the EJ and later cars are of a smaller diameter, and you would need adaptors at the wheel cylinders front and rear, available from any brake shop.
