Have seen them listed as HQ OR HJ/HX. Similar shape to HQ PBR besides the notch in the middle.

Are they a Ford housing with GMH bracket? I do recall there being a 1st and 2nd type HQ PBR caliper and I think they used different sized pins in them. I wonder if the later ones had a different housing?

Looks like same part# as caliper on the left in your picture. The packaging for the caliper indicates HQ-HJ 73-74

Thanks Datto. Will they work the same as the HQ PBR cast with turned down rotors?

Was going to try heat but the issue with this style is the pin is only accessible on one end so can't use the BFH to belt it through.

I got hold of the old Street Rodding magazine issue this week that has full Engineering drawings for HD/HR, HK to WB and Torana stubs that show the heights, KPI etc. will scan and put somewhere where it can be made a sticky.
