thank you.
Is it hard to establish a redirect service with Australia post? As the 6 pot they send to Australia but the 4 pot they don't :)

Yep thanks to SnowDoggyDogg I went through Aus post. Worked very well. Also 20% discount on shipping on your first order.


Getting the paint off them tomorrow, ready for painting on Sunday.

@ Red Lion, keep in mind that the front camaro calipers, the brake hose attaches at the top of the caliper and for the OE Holden front brembo calipers, the brake hose attaches at the bottom refer pic. When you fit make sure your brake hose isn't rubbing on anything..

Thanks mate. Hopefully the mechanic does this on Tuesday. I'm sill paranoid about needing the longer bolts. But brakesdirct swears I don't need any.

VE Brembos have 12mm bolts, VF have 14mm bolts on the front. You can fit them but you have to drill out and re tap the
caliper.
Retap the caliper?
Is there threads in the caliper.
I thought the only threads were the end of the bolt to the knuckle.
Are the holes in the caliper 14mm?

I'm in the process of buy some new brake lines for my VFII
I thought all VF were the same. But apparently not.
Got this response from a supplier
"Hi, VF2 has different inner mating surface in the fittings VS VF1."

Anyone heard of this or know what they are talking about.?
