hi im hoping some one can help me and reassure my worries, ive got a vn disc brake rear end that i have had the discs machined to torana stud pattern, and im planning to bolt it straight on to my bango on my LX, ive checked and everything should bolt on, what im worried about is whether the thread on the torana brake lines is the same as the thread on the commodore calipers? has any body done done conversion? is there any thing im over looking?
thanks adam

you will have to get a new hard line bent up that sits on the diff. get them to use a torana nut to go to the flexible line between the body and diff, and use commo nust on the caliper ends. cant see it costing much more than $50

You can't run the steel pipe into the caliper
It needs to have a rubber hose.... as the caliper slides on the pins
So as mentioned get a hose made to go from imperial thread on the female end to go to the pipe.
The other end is a banjo into the caliper. banjo bolt thread is 10x1

When i used to work for better brakes we would make up brake lines to customers orders with different nuts to suit what ever calipers or wheel cylinders which would be used.
Try any brake shop, they should be able to help.
