"Firstly, thanks for posting up the great writeup. Is there any particular model of commodore to pull the caliper frame off?   Secondly, I'm hoping to potentially use this setup on a 411 wagon front end, which I'm hoping may be identical to the 1k..."

"Just coming back to this. I have been doing some thinking over this and thought it may be easier to find a replacement spindle to knock over a bunch of limitations for brake upgrades, wheel fitment etc.   I came across an article from the USA talking..."

"Ok no worries. Fabricated hub sounds To expensive for this project I've got going.   I might see if I can use a complete spindle off something else, might be an easier option. Will postan update if I find anything."

"Tell me more about Neils lazer setup, or a link if possible. Any idea what rim they fit under?   At a guess I reckon a solid rotor would be an easier fit, but open to a vented rotor if fitment around steering items isn't a big issue.   I might try and..."

"Hey guys,   I've got a 411 wagon that has 4 wheel drum brakes all round. Considering a front disc upgrade to something to something like a solid disc and single piston caliper purely because you just can't buy the drum gear for 411's anymore.   I see..."

"Hey guys, I've seen an NZ bloke cut and shut a S15 6 speed box with an A series bellhousing and fit it behind an A15 in his rally stanza.   For the price of an A series 5 speed i reckon it's worth looking at this option with an L series box or similar."
