Title: Disc Brake ID Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on October 28, 2013, 03:37:30 PM Can anyone help ID the Disc/Caliper combo on my Pano?
The wheels that I want to fit are scrubbing on the top control arm and I want to investigate options, but need to know what I am starting with. (http://i42.tinypic.com/35inmsg.jpg) Title: Re: Disc Brake ID Post by: ardiesse on October 28, 2013, 04:50:28 PM Stinky,
HR. The discs have been replaced at some stage, and the disc-to-hub screws are hex socket-head instead of the original Phillips. If you take a look from the backing-plate side, the brake pipe should be S-shaped, and it should enter the caliper on the high side, right near the top ball joint. I think it's just visible on your photo. And you should see bolt heads where the steering arms bolt on to the stub-axles, unlike HKTG and LCJ where there are through-bolts and nuts. And there should be a pair of Phillips screws holding the backing plate to the caliper.

Have also used hq and p76 conversion, this also widens the front track as will any brake combo on hr frontend .
