Title: brakes Post by: ashfe on June 07, 2016, 05:22:40 PM can you put rear lj torana brakes on fe diff if you use baking plates and every thing?
Title: Re: brakes Post by: fcwrangler on June 07, 2016, 06:35:23 PM I think you will find the Torana backing plate has different mounting holes. FE/FC plates have basically square arrangement while the Torana is slightly wider at the bottom holes.

Title: brakes Post by: Errol62 on June 07, 2016, 08:10:22 PM I assume you want to match Torana brakes on the front. EJ to HR rear is an easy swap if you want to retain same wheel offset although I am told you need to use later rims. May be some mucking around with the rear brake hose and I'm pretty sure the bundy tubes are a size up from FE FC. Stock centre can be re-used if desired. Torana rear will allow you to tuck wider rims under the guards but may rub on the inners with body roll on corners. Have a search on here and the EK FB forum. Been done once or twice before.

Finally got diff bolted in this arvo but cant bolt wheels on as they fowl on inner guards. just bought all new brakes to put on diff thought i may have been able to save some cost by reusing brakes on original diff.
