For starters that aint going to work. The bw Diff will denote the use of 14" rims to start with so that will need some revision. The hoppers kit also will not fit under the 13" rims. so I am feeling you need to revaluate some of your plans first.

sorry but i am new to all this and still learning, i thought that u could put the standard torana brakes onto the BW diff which will allow me to keep my 13 inch rims, i just thought that maybe there was a better brake choice that i could put on were i could still use my 13 inch rims. also i thought uc had 13 inch wheels aswel, if this is problem maybe i will have to consider 14 inch rims are they off a HK?, or better stil i could leave the commodore brakes on the diff and change the front and run 15 inch wheels that way i will have disks all round, i would just prefer to keep the sprintmasters on the car.

mate try tony from competition engineering in mooroolbark PH:9725 3234 he does affordable brake conversions for almost anything, his kits range in size stud pattern etc, much cheaper than hoppers and all holden parts not ford....

well oldn i got my diff priced at final drives in perth and they can change it to any stud pattern you like.
but the standard front discs work well enough anyway so what i will do is just hav the stud pattern changed on the bw and use standard commy brakes that go with it.

Ok if that is the case then a 14" is required. as the commodores only allow the fitment of the 14" rim. Start looking in teh HT section at the wreckers.well oldn i got my diff priced at final drives in perth and they can change it to any stud pattern you like.

I am sure that you could get them to put torana drums on the BW diff.
what brakes do the NC guys run on the back?
