Just doing a bit of research on fitting VS discs, Rod hadfield only has adaptors for HK-WB not HR front ends, I presume that means i have to fit HK-WB stub axles to the HR crossmember.

When Ken was at Hoppers Stoppers, I sent him down some HR drum stubs and he machines a piece off them to fit some laser cut plates that accepted my VT calipers. They also have the hubs that fit commodore rims to finish off the package. I would recommend this and would use them again.

Hope thids helps

Thanks, Hoppers stoppers sounds like the go, were you running rack and pinion if so front or rear mounted.

I've heard the turning circle is better with the rear mounted too, does anyone make a rear mounted kit.

Pedro I run a Pat Gardner rear mount and the lock is better than a standard car and lighter with no wondering all over the road as with a steering box CRS also makes a rear mount I think  The front mounted ones I have fitted have all had poor lock ......FC427.....
As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

No worries thanks what about sump clearance with the v6, i know it has to be modified a bit but the rack is going to protrude even more.
