No I didn't know that, so that solves that problem. Now I just need to know if a TE or TF front hub and disc will fit onto a TC or TD front stub axle?

early tc's were a direct copy as such and were probably imported from england. late 72 the tc changed to the australian design which other than a few small differences in suspension carried right up to the end of the td. for the sake of clarity i'll call the early stuff tc and the later td.

in regards to the k frame. they're different. the early tc's had a narrower chassis rail at the engine bay and was only double skinned whereas the australian version was triple skinned.   thats an australian frame you have in that photo. i've never put a tape measure to either frame but i know an early frame doesnt fit into a later car. if you're rough you can go the other way though.

sorry to burst your bubble but an early tc and td hubs are not interchangable. without taking it apart they have different wheel bearings for one and as you've already discovered the early brake upgrade doesnt fit onto a td stub axle.

is there any reason you've got your heart set on this style of brake setup? is it for a cortina or a kit car?  what sized wheels are you going to be running?

[Bunky Twincam]

It is for a kit car and the chassis must take a TC cross member, just didn't want to pay for a hoppers stoppers kit as vented disc's and spaced calipers work just the same.

Where about are you so I can think about postage costs for the front end parts.

ahh yeah ok no worries. that makes sense. i've sold heaps of front ends over the years to jba and westfield crew. 

i'm in perth.

[Bunky Twincam]

Norm,

I am definitely keen on the early front end bits, maybe just easier to take the complete front end?

[BigNorm]

whole front end isnt a problem. i can do both types or whatever bits you need depending on what the specs are for your car.

whereabouts are you?

[Bunky Twincam]

I am in Kallaroo, just let me know how much you want for the entire front end? Or just the uprights, top wish bones and hubs?

What suburb are you in?

Cheers

[BigNorm]

haha i'm right up the other end, gosnells. still its better than postage/freight.  i'd prefer to sell the whole front end complete as i'd be stuck with it otherwise if i strip it for a few bits. how does $250 disc to disc grab you?

[Bunky Twincam]

Norm was that $200 I can pick it up anytime you are ready or even give you a hand to remove it?

Cheers

[BigNorm]

maybe i should've started at $300.

as i said before i need to make room to park this car so i can strip as where its parked now its in the way of other things and needs to stay driving. what kind of a hurry are you in?

might be easier to give me a call. 0407772723

[Bunky Twincam]

No hurry at all, but definitely want it and $250 is no problem at all
