I'm in the middle of changing my front rotors from commodore to HQ rotors, I got my vc commodore calliper bolt up and over the hq rotor I spin it no nose from calliper hit the rotor but the space is small between calliper and rotor. Will this work??
I know the will be a tight fit

So before you had a Commodore caliper and rotor on a Torana or HQ stub ?

 

it has the drum brake stub axle set-up with the commodore brakes, but i want to run HQ stud pattin

Is that with the caliper extended all the way on its slides?

 

If so then theres not a lot of room for pad wear, or pads at all.....

 

TMK commy rotors are set back further than H series?

 

Is it worth considering getting some H series stubs and calipers and just going that way?

 

Cheers. 

 

it the part of the caliper the set over the rotor, the garb for the pads looks ok

Yep i see now, was looking at it pear shaped (its late and as per usual i've been drinking)

 

I"d be keen to hear datto's oppinion, but if you can fit pads in there then it may not be an issue?

 

Hell you can probably clearance that area, not sure what it does exactly. 

 

Cheers. 

 

lol its never to late to have drink on a friday nite lol

i got some pads coming in, hopeful early next week

H series stubs would require UC or Harrop steering arms.
 
You must have the CRS adapter brackets to mount the calipers I guess, which were designed for HQ rotors and calipers weren't they ?
 
So I'd just find some HQ - WB calipers and do the job properly. Unless Commodore are identical.
 
 
.

It's has some type of CRS adapter brackets, it was made for commodore calipers, hq mount are slitly diffrant mount holes

Early Commodore rotors are smaller diameter than HQ to WB. Same as LH to UC Torana diameter.
 
Were they made for HQ rotors or Commodore ? You might be best to get 6mm taken off the radius of the HQ rotors, like when fitting to Torana disc stubs.

Yeah I already taking 6mm off

I think you'll find that HQ rotors are also thicker than the Commodore ones, you probably won't get a new set of pads in there
