VF SS Brembo brake upgrade Vol. 2

[Ron Burgundy]

Righty O Holden are onto it now checking stock in Melbourne, let's see what their experts come back with. I have spoken to Ron's engineer, he has said he would pass this with a second hand BMC and suggested it comes out of the same wreck as the brakes. At least we now have a solution if Holden's parts subject expert comes back with the tits up excuse. Stay Tuned.

That's good. In engineering terms, second hand parts are fine as long as they are in good working order...

The part number you have is the correct one for Redline. Looks like a labeling error.

Thanks Anthony looking more and more like wrong part in the box, will advise what Holden come back with.

Is there no part number stamped onto the actual part ?

Yes the one in the box has a cast 25 where 27 should be no actual part number. Apparently Holdens parts computer does not tell them the bore size of the BMC, just the part number for the variant it suits.

Houston we have an update.........


Hi Mate , Steve got the part number for xxxx2381 and it had the 25mm brake master cylinder in his box as well.. So he thinks you're right about it being packaged wrong. He told me to let you know he is dealing with donkeys at Holden spares in Melbourne now to get it sorted. Will let you know in the morning as the night shift will pull a random couple of boxes with the same part number later tonight.


Let's hope they have an expert matter operative on hand to review the results. At least we are moving forward I guess............

I just picked up a BMC off a GTR from the same wreckers Ron got his Brembo's (I said hi Ron) it is 27mm , just as a point of reference .

As I am not getting anywhere with Holden as usual, what did you pay for the second hand one? Looks like we will be going down this route now. Cheers

@Thorby cost $100 , but it was the whole assembly , booster and reservoir even though i will probably only use the BMC unless i find there is a difference in the booster , reservoir is the same .

Thanks bud based on that I am going to dump trying to get a new one from Holden, it appears the entire stock they have in Melbourne at the moment is labelled and packed incorrectly. Cant waste anymore time with these drongos.

Any difference between auto and manual?
