Ok so I have an HR front end with EK outrigger and moved engine mounts thanks to Vintage Holden,
I also have upper and lower control arms (bare bones), and Torry stub axles.

Just wondering what I need to put it all together?

Shopping list and links/prices would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Jay

one of those mecano kit spanners sorry can't help being silly tonight

rubber kit, ball joint, shocks, springs, disks, calipers, flex brake hoses, front sway bar kit thats what i ca n think of straight up...

try rare spares, wa suspension should have you pretty covered, quokka for brake setups or try perth brake parts for advice...

cheers
Nathan

what model torana are you're stubs off ? LH/X, UC can cause problems with wheel alignment camber castor settings

a case

also
Control arm bushes upper and lower, grease, bearings, bump stops or are they in the rubber kit . if they are then something to cut them in half

I think you should add some of those shortened bump stops FBMAD is always talking about - I think they are manufactured by Fulcrum suspensions?

I will look into those shortened bump stops.

Do you guys think this kit is worth the money?

I bought a kit like that (can't remember where from) 6 months later all the rubbers were perished .

As for value, get prices on the individual parts and compare from there, Trev .

Just buy the bits you need J , its not often you need to replace all 4 pivot bushes ..............

How about dropped spindles J? Stub Tech used to make them for the HR front end - don't know if they still do: http://www.stubtech.com.au/products/index.html

J,
thats great that you bit the bullet and bought the HR front end.

Sounds like you're gonna get it sorted to as new condition before it goes in.
Good on ya for having a crack at it. hope it works out well and we're all looking forward to seeing the pics of the progress.

J,

But for your money you have the luxury of suspension travel AND a lower stance. Plus it's not dodgy like cutting springs & bumpstops.
