Coul Commodorenut or some other late model fanatic let me know the original size of the VN V8 disc brakes,
I am lookign at converting an FB to four wheel discs and thought I might upgrade to std VN V8 stuff
I have been told the rears were 279 x 10.5 could tis be verified.
and I assume they would be running the 1 inch master cylinder as well for this set up?
Cheers
Matt

Be careful not to cop a VN or VP V6 front rotor - they are 271mm (except for VP2, and FE2 cars)
You are spot on with the rears. You'll find a lot of catalogs will round up the rears from 279 to 280, and the V8 fronts from 289 to 290mm.
Make sure yo |
Cheers,
Mick

Yes, the 289mm rotors used on VL Turbo, VL-VN-VP-VQ V8, and VP2 V6 will go straight onto the VH stub.
You need to team it up with the matching finned caliper as I described above.
VR/VS front calipers are everywhere, and the last 3-4 pairs I've boug |
