They have the same bolt pattern & flange on the ends of the axle tubes, but the wheel stud PCD is different from LX to HQ.

It's very easy to do all you need is the HQ backing plates complete and use HT drums if you want to keep the torana stud pattern. you might have a little trouble with the length of the hand brake cable.

So use HK-T-G drums with the HQ backing plates and shoes/cyls.

I've got a pair of the small rear hatch flares. There are two sizes, the ones that cover the fat tyres and the ones that cover the really fat tyres.

I'll have to find them and take pics. We then need to see how much you want for your rear disc brake stuff.

I am happy to defer to CHOPPER if he has something to trade, Simon.

I'm getting a WB van. I'll be installing an HQ V8 Salisbury diff and want 4 wheel discs, as I hate adjusting drum brakes. As the van will be used for commercial purposes, they won't allow a BW or 9" conversion.
