This popped up on facebook, but there are no details other than they are on the way from Harrop engineering. Made to fit Torana. I am guessing A9X.

I saw them on an instagram post ... not stalkbook (yet)

 

Interesting.. .as we tried to get these from Harrop when building Marks Targa hatch... but he wasn't interested in doing them back then (2007)

Ze German was looking for these.. .so too a few others not so long ago

 

The alternate was the AP closed back caliper... that rumour is they have stopped making.. .again (they do that now and then.... then remake them)

The fella who posted this is heavily into the Group C scene and owns a couple of racers.

Interesting in as much as I thought RH had little to do with the company any more?. Sold the name?. I think he independantly fettles old race cars etc for client of his own...maybe that's where it is coming out of.?

I just asked, and it is Ron himself. If anybody is serious about a set I could pass on your details.

See if he’ll build you a Muncie like he did for Bob Jane’s ZL1 Camaro if you start finding the limits of a Super T10!

Oh ok datto, didnt know, not surprised.
With not much going on in commodore cup, thats fair.
Not many use that stuff anymore.
Most of the people using 4 speeds like that are running x nascar stuff.
