Thanks again for all the input , picked up a complete diff with 3.55 ratio today so will drop the centre in this week and get new bearings and all shimmed up.

Iv had a search but can't find anything is there a thread of someone fitting up a billet works collapsible column at all ? Or has anyone ...

Cheers for the input all , I pulled the diff out today we slapped it in to get it home from the panel shop. Pulled the centre and axles intending to to clean up reseal extra.

It has a 3.08 centre and the teeth don't look the best. The final set up will be a triple webber red with celica 5 speed I ...

Genuine HR disc caliper for sure.

9” is overkill though relatively accessible. They are big and heavy. Shortened Borg Warner are easily capable of handling abuse. Banjo are easy but getting scarcer and dearer. They handle sensible use well in a lighter car such as FB EK.

Agree with Clay re the caliper.

What engine are you running ? A 9" is overkill unless you are planning on a 400+hp donk and sticky tyres Hi Blacky

186 out to a 192 , star fire rods extensive head work and tripple webbers with a celica 5 speed . The car won't be driven stupid so will probably ...

Hi all

Wondering if anyone can help identify the callipers so I can get a rebuild kit ? Hr disc frond end if that helps ?

Also we are at a crossroads with the diff , get the banjo done up or a 9 inch ? Does anyone have any feed back on the rod shop 9" diffs ? 20250208_134944.jpg

Sweet as a sugar sandwich mate 8) [emoji106] now the fun part - putting everything on once and some things twice [emoji38] I would start with pedal box then wiring harness and wipers - get the crap under the dash done first Hey Blacky

Control arm spacer use.jpg


I haven't got the HR manual here, but my notes say that the upper tool (3A12) is different to the lower tool (3A11). I've got both tools at home to measure or loan you, but am a ...

What spacers are you talking about mate ? the shims to align it that fit between the upper control arm swivel pin and the crossmember ? Can you take a pic and show us ? Same with the shock rubbers, some of them have a thin shim along with the thicker washers - I am not certain but I usually put ...
