Hi there, couple more questions, searched all through the forum and everyone seems to be running different combinations so thought I would ask about mine...
Firstly, can someone confirm these rims are HT? They came off the FC stud pattern and are 14" so they are older holden.




Now, if these are HT/HG what is the best/easiest to get/fit brake setup to put on.
I have a HR Disc Front End and HR drum rear end, I want to keep these rims if I can.  I have HQ stub axles and no brake gear so need to know what to get, so I need calipers and rotors and maybe new linkages?

Torana calipers seem scarce, I am thinking the easiest way would be HT calipers and rotors, HK are more common though, can I use these?  What other options do I have?  If I use HK do I need HK steering Linkages as well??

as john said; and the rim is almost certainly HT/G...

I agree, rims appear to be HT or HG. The easiest brake solution is to stay with HR discs if these are already there. Torana brakes (get LH or LX, not LC or LJ) will fit up to the standard HR stub axle so this is pretty straightforward as well. This will give you an improvement on brakes. HK to HG brakes are not much different or better than LH/LX and also will require you to use a HK/Z stub axle as well. You will need HK steering arms as well if you fit the later stub axles. HQ brakes will bolt up to the later stub axles but you will require new blank rotors drilled out to early stud pattern - not the cheapest way to go!
