What is the easyest way to change bango to a HQ stud pattern? Are HQ axles the same length? or will early commodore axles fit?.

Take your axles and drums to a machine shop and get them to weld up the torana pattern and redrill in HQ pattern. They will also redrill your drums.

Hey possessed,
the easiest way to do it,
buy a set off ebay that are already done.
Will fine spline suit?
TORANA LH-LX-UC FINE SPLINE AXLES (HQ STUD PATTERN)
These are not my auction,
but a very good seller that I have purchased Torana parts from before.
Also a forum memeber I think.

Cheers
Chris.

i think you will find that hub or the face of the torana axle is not as wide as the hq hub, there fore hq pattern cannot be drilled onto the torana hub. i could be wrong though! but i tried to change to a commodore pattern & it would'nt fit!
