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

rocknrob - November 30th, 2007 at 05:08 PM

and can you believe the brake lines just screwed together:yes:

rocknrob - November 30th, 2007 at 05:10 PM

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 - November 30th, 2007 at 05:12 PM

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

Hi

Nice job. Your handbrake must be mechanical, not hydraulic.

The first 90 percent of a conversion like this takes 10 percent of the time and effort. The last 10 percent.... ;)
