Thanks to FCwrangler I now have a 9" in the making. Obviously the car has to have more power now to justify the big diff LOL.
Thinking Turbo 202.....

Am now living in Perth and have lots of time by myself to work on the car.

Should be pumping along and plan to finish to drive it back home to NSW in 2020

Went to do photos but having size issues
Will try again later.

Anyone near rockingham have a pipe bender, flair and cutter I could borrow to do the brakes.

Cheers

Saterday was well worth the 5 hour round trip. Saw great cars and spoke with great people. Got some new ideas and reinforced some others. Aim to bring my own to the next one.

Thank you for akl involved in such a great day

Hey Wheatley, don’t know how you are going with the diff mods? but I have a shortened 9” diff with commodore bearing ends fitted with a new set of billet multi fit axels if you are interested.

Maby. Where do you live?

Great info Neil. Will call my engineer

Found some standard springs close to me

Thanks neil. Am asking around for swaps on my low springs.

Are your hr arms spaced out at all?

Been using the tyre calculator to get it down to the mm
All this info is very helpful

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Thanks Nes and Neil,

I am unsure of the spring size, I am guessing that they are lows. may have to go standards or even a lift to highs

Any info on measured heights of springs when removed? I will ask some local guys (Shoalhaven if any on here can help) for a lend of some HR springs if I can to do some comparison fits.

Rims are 15x6s may even go to 15x5s as i would like to keep this car on the 100mm limit and be able to clear. Tyres are standard commo tyres so they are pretty big at 205 65 15, looking to run a 1.5 to 2 inch smaller tyre. will defiantly need a bigger spring as it already is sitting at 100mm with these tyres.

oh and anyone got some HQ power steering arms they want to move on?

Luke

I guess more what i am asking it those out there running Commodore brakes, What wheels and tyres are you running Offset and width?
and is there anyone running a low car with Commodore Disks.
I have the commodore drop axles now so i have to make it work.
I know Ness Pedro and some others have similar setups but is is hard to find all the details i need through searching, also alot of the older photos don't even work
I am very happy with the clearance as far as brakes and the control arms.
If i have to i may put in taller springs to just clear.
I will be getting custom steel wheels made just need to work out sizing.

Maybe you are right Clay. I may be asking too much and should not have increased the track so much

Put rod hadfield 2in drop in. She is looking hot. VR caliper VN V8 disk. All went together with caliper on rear. No modification. The 2in drop in the axle gave clerance of the steering arm to enabel me to run caliper on rear and run commodore flex hose

Issue. Steering arm fowling on tyre. I think i have HR arms. Had to stack washers in behind. Any recommendations?

Also have nearly no steering before hitting outer guard. Will be running custom 15x5 to fix this

Always hated how big the steel booster was and the angle on the vs master cylinder.

So here's what i did.
VS plastic Booster
VS master
VT reservoir to reduce angle on reservoir. had to tap a new hole in the master for it and elongated the hole in the reservoir.
Custom mouning bracket.
Also cut bigger hole in firewall to get it closer to the firewall and to correct attach to pedal.

Now to install brakes and plumb....

So am i the only one who read about King Pin Inclination being an issue? All that i found was on forums and I know that there are many self proclaimed experts around so thats why i have been gathering this information.

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

HQ is not 90°
And the vertical line changes in refrence to the bolt hole line.
Anyway may have to agree to disagree on that one Clay.


Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

I have read you can not use other spindles on HR due to the camber being different. Just trying to find some truth to that. I agree that the angle noted is the same but if you look at the vertical lines going to the back of the spindle (Not the one going through the holes) there are slight difference and i think thats where the andles are taken. Not sure if this has anything to do with it but that is why I tried measuring it myself to find any differences. I acknowledge your comment to not trust scale drawings. I have also overlayd the images and the conclusion of increasing camber is seen.

Once again happy to be wrong just trying to collate some decent information on spindle difference.

If there is no change to camber then Great! Then any spindle should be fine on any car

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Oh and as a visual representation here is 3° difference over 40cm

As you can imagine this will be a big change to your wheels

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

So I wanted to know what the angle of the axel was in relation to the straight line through the center of the upper and lower attachment bolts.
This is for camber of differing spindles.
I found that the HR and HG were the same at about 97° where as the HQ came up at 94°.
So it would appear that HR through to HG spindles should not change the camber but a HQ spindle will create a higher negitave camber thus where the KPI issue may come in to play for wheel alignment.

Any thoughts? Happy to be wrong as i am no expert.

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

After hours of searching i found these for those swapping spindles. Got a headache reading about KPI and just wanted proof for myself

In order HG HQ HR

Then in order HR HG HQ

Will be getting wheels first and doing the diff that way from your previous advice.

I would be interested in those measurements too that would be great
