Interesting, they must be off the VN with FE2... which means they are the same brakes as used for the VN & VP V8 models, and the VQ statesman. 290mm Diameter, 22mm thickness... dba part number 017

i've come across a set of vn v8 brakes aswell. So this might be the cheaper conversion for me rather than going the hopper stoppers conversion. Rust 3 can you send me an e-mail with how you did the complete conversion what you had to change to lukec@hrs.au.com
Thanks

there are many cheaper ways/conversions,

but at least you know that it was done by a qualified engineered after the kit has been finished,

plus cheaper if 5 stud, and keep the 5 stud with a Commodore diff conversion,

calculate the costs, i estimated bout $300 if stay with 5 stud all round, may not be heaps but hey

easier selction of mags too Smile

there are cheaper ways out. like the dba replacement disks.

hopper stoppers for 700 are dirt cheap, if i didnt get my disk and calipers for free i would have bought the hopper stoppers.

my brakes owe me:

calipers- 0
disks- 0
pads- 45 pair
caliper kits- 20 each
sleves- 80 for the 4 sleves
redrilled and machined disks- 60 each (stud changed to 5x100, 5mm skinned off the face and the cente turned down to 56mm to suit my wheels)
brake lines- 10 each
new bearings & seals- 80 pair
