Title: commodor discs to hr front end Post by: parry on December 24, 2014, 08:11:39 PM Hi all just finished modifying my VN commodore diff fits in well so easy to shorten now to the front end do I need to change my stub axles to HQ to fit VN discs have HG on at present.
Parry Title: Re: commodor discs to hr front end Post by: mcl1959 on December 24, 2014, 08:26:38 PM Parry, the VN discs fit OK on the stubs, it's the calipers which need a custom mounting bracket. Even if you use the HQ stubs, you will still need a bracket for the calipers.
Commodore discs are slightly smaller in diameter, thinner and have a different offset.

Just remember if you use the drum brake stub axles you have to machine down the top mounting hole spigget so that the adapter plate 1 sits in the same plane as the lower steering arm mounting holes and 2 by doing this it should line up the caliper with the disc. I have gone this way with my EK ute and it works great. My FC sedan runs HZ/WB stub axles and the girl ok aluminium caliper this also works great.

Title: Re: commodor discs to hr front end Post by: parry on December 29, 2014, 02:09:54 PM I've got HG disc set up and have changed to commodore VN discs and callipers. The bracket Guru posted looks interesting will this effect your steering , what calliper do you recommend I have both VN & HG here was looking at putting a spacer in the HG callipers and putting them back on as there twin piston.
