Yes standard brakes are required with a modification required on the bolt that holds the brake hose onto the caliper.

I use a "Z" Grip that has been modified by me.

thanks for that, i was under the impression you just had to change the calipers, and not the rotors. better source some stock rotors then too....

I feel a road trip coming on................. Planning a trip Interstate in the next couple of months so I think I'll put a towbar on it to pull my dog float. Time for me to drive it for a while.

Come on now Gaela, don't be like that. You can't have all the glory without a little bit of pain.

Seriously, hope all is well and your GT-P is back together soon.

Hey Craig,

Well I don't think that diff will be able to be reconditioned, it sure did explode. Glad to hear you've fixed it all up. So did you put 4.10 gears back in?
