A few ways - change your brakes to commodore brakes (bit of work and $) or get the stud pattern adaptor rings. They are on ebay and also sold at wheel places. They slip over the existing wheel studs and have the commodore type studs and placement inbetween the holes for the torana studs... Few hundred $ for them new but you'll need to check the legality of them (there are mixed responses on brands).

Lots of money involved in the conversion... I'd speak to someone who's done it before. I believe that dattoman has info on this conversion...

Cheers

Little bro does these conversions. Weld up old holes, machine, and drill new holes. PM me if you want more info.

I meant that wheel stud adaptors are a bit of a grey area. You could ask 3 different people and get 3 different answers... Some police may think they need to be engineer approved, some not. Same with vicroads - I got told my LX hatch needed to be engineer approved because it had a 173 and not a 202, I went to a different desk and they said it was fine! go figure!

but in putting a 202 engine in it is fine as it came standard with the car (uc) therefore no engineers needed

I know! But for my car it was just a smaller capacity red six The engine mounts and everything else are the same as a 202...
