Any chance those PBR cast calipers will fit without the UC steering arms?
Daz have you got a pic of how you solved the problem of the position of where the brake line joins the caliper on your Girlock cast caliper?

Gonedeaf, Pbr cast would probably fit with some removal of material near anti rattle spring.You may have a problem with the spring.Personally it would be safer to acuire a set of UC arms as as it sits now no grinding required.If any when down on ground it would be substantially less to Lx arms.Girlock calipers uc arms still require lot of mods and the design of the cradle would leave it weaken to being unsafe.Cast can have probs to grinding with crack propergation.

Thanks mate.
So I will need UC or A9X steering arms, what about the stub axles? Do I need to change those as well as I have the torana stubs at the moment?

I can only comment on what Im playing with as there are many variants.Torana stubs uc arms Hq pbr cast calipers Machine blank disk with pcd to torana.With 3mm off RADIUS to new disk, caliper fits but thermal expansion will be a factor.Orignal info had a prob with Dia and Rad so we went small as you cant put it back on but can remove more.Im toying with removing the other material from caliper but you will need access to a boring machine to complete this process efectivley without compromising the integotoraty of the caliper.Or just do the 6mm of the disk far easier.Uc arms far cheaper than repoduced A9x arms depends how deep your hands go in your wallet.If I went a9x arms I would go the hq-hz stubs but everyone to their own and what your going to to with the car.
