Howdy
Just curious if anyone can identify what callipers are on my torana , I recently was bleeding the brakes when i wrecked the thread in the caliper for the bleed nipple. I presume they are V8 Torana Spec but could be HQ as i dont know the difference any help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers
Ian

They are a HQ Disc (Vented Disc). Not sure on the caliper though... Someone else will know.

HQ ventilated disc as MRLXSS stated, has late model LX / UC Torana PBR alloy caliper with the HZ steel pad mounting bracket fitted. You will need to source the Torana PBR alloy calliper as the HZ ones have the hose exiting in a different location to your torana ones.
