Post subject:  Commodore Brakes, strictly 13" rims
I have fitted a set of commodore disk brakes to the front of my mini.
The parts I have usd are:
disk front hubs
early commodore 4 cylinder brackets (machined wider for the thicker disks)
6 cylinder callipers
adapter brackets
new front brake lines

My engineer has asked me to go to a bigger stud size (from 3/8 unf to 7/16 unf)

There is quite a bit of machining to do to the disk, like 1 - 1.5 hours per disk, plus the maching of the brackets (20 min each tops). Also the making of the brackes and the brake lines. Plus the engineering to get it passed.

I have it done to my car, the engineer has seen it and said it was fine, but not passed yet.
