Looking for brake caliper ideas for something i have been working on 

 

Calipers need to fit a 257mm Ø  x 25mm thick rotor and also a different set of calipers for a 285mm Ø x 28mm rotor .

 

For the 257mm rotors none of the stock Holden calipers fit good , the only type that has bolted up and was a good fit was the HX slide calipers .

Clearance on the back of the hub and steering arms / tie rod end  is the main problem 

 

For the 285mm rotors i haven't bought them yet but they will fit the same hub and have the same offset and stuff  as the 257mm rotors

Initially was thinking camry calipers but they have the problem of the way they bolt up

 

The calipers need to fit the the same way the stock ones do by bolting on from the back but can have a different bolt spacing

 

Here is some pictures of a test fit of the 257mm rotors that i did using a stock rotor machined for a hub 

Plan to make a better hub out of billet but first need to find good calipers to make it worth it

Yes the caliper is from the wrong side ,was just sat on there for the picture

When those calipers are on a Torana the bottom slide-tube is recessed to take an Allen headed bolt rather than two hex heads like on a HX. This was to clear the tie rods. If you aren’t sure what I mean I might have an old caliper to get a photo of.
