Title: question for ken re brakes
Post by: v8 wagon on October 10, 2006, 07:42:01 AM
I want to change the stud pattern on the front of wagon to match the rear.

at present it is running vn stud pattern at rear and wb on the front .  (crs hr front end, vn diff at rear).

and it is running hq gts rims front and rear.

can I fit a commodore disc on the front end using the exsisting calliper, or am I better to get a blank wb disc redrilled to commodore stud pattern.( if so how much).

Then I will be fitting commodore rims allround.

No you cant fit Commodore rotors with HQ to WB calipers.  We can supply HQ rotors in Commodore pattern (about $200 each in smooth- more expensive if slotted or drilled & slotted)
Or P76 rotors in Commodore pattern (once again about $200 each plus bearing fitting kit $140)  The benefit of P76 is that it moves the track in about 18 mm per side.

 What I did with my EK was offset drill the existing holes (you need to do this on a mill ) and fit oversize wheel studs. They are still 7/16 thread but the splined bit is larger. The difference in the stud pattern is only 1.6mm or thereabouts.
I bought the studs from Coventrys.
