You can fit the later ones

But I probably wouldn't go with VZ

The master cylinder/prop valve setup will hurt your head

Thanks for your reply Datto. I will see if my master cylinder will fit the VZ booster.I also have the choice of using a VR Commodore booster but its only a single diaphragm.

Hmmm,

VR dual diaphragm Booster + 1" master cylinder  (Crackpoint) C2.4

VT/VX/VY dual diaphragm Booster + 1 1/4" master cylinder (Crackpoint) C3.1

 

What is the CP on a VZ???

 

Is that true, that a VB to VS Master Cylinder and Booster  will fit a LH ( push rod length/position/throw).?

What flares are on the brake lines?

What modifications are necessary (rod length/booster to firewall bracket)?

The capacity of the T/X/Y is more suited to larger capacity calipers. true or false

Thanks Datto

No its not a direct bolt-in fit, studs on the commo booster are smaller and require some decent washers to stop the nuts pulling through the firewall, pushrod is different and requires cutting & welding, M/C has built in prop valve and has metric threads (Toranas are all imperial except late UC).

VZ is a Korean Mando unit 26mm 

2 metric ports and no inbuilt prop (so no crack pressure)

 

I haven't really looked at VZ's much as I'm not a fan of tupperware and no longer actually work in the brake industry

But its altogether possible they don't even have a prop valve and everything is now controlled by ABS,EST and traction control

However...I haven't really looked

Ute and cab chassis still had a load sensing valve on them...I do recall that... no idea on sedans
