Nice, so what are the calipers & rotors from, and what are you doing for a handbrake?

rocknrob 路

and can you believe the brake lines just screwed together馃憤

rocknrob 路

don't have a handbrake yet but i want one like i had on a ford van in the states...it was hydraulic foot operated hand release

rocknrob 路

rotors are falcon AU 287dia. calipers commodore but i think they are the same as ford
