You should run a VT master as it has a 1 1/4" quick fill bore at the start to take up the initial play between the pad and rotor, basically gives a firm pedal sooner the a VS master.

You can run a full vt setup including booster. You just need to mod the vh booster bracket to fit onto the vt booster or make your own. Also will need to drill a new hole in the shaft going into the car and chop about 10mm off the end of the shaft. Have a search on google there is a few thread about fitting vt booster to a early commodore. Pretty easy job.

ok - i have decided to run with the VS m/cylinder just for the fact that i have 2 of them + the booster for free.....no complaints from me!
Theres a couple of things i want to sus out before i start pulling it all down

#1 do the existing vh flare nuts (connectors into m/cylinder) adapt straight into the VS cylinder...ie same thread pattern??????

#2 the connections are in different posistions when comparing the 2 m/cylinders. i have labled which line is which on the VH one. i imagine the larger nut on the VS one is the rear brake connection???? correct me if im wrong or retarded!
the smaller nut connection (top right) and the blanked off nut (bottom right) i believe are the front brake line connections???? which is left brake and right brake???

here is my vh with the vt conversion showing the lines ....you need adapters to fit it .....front original 2 lines go into the back of the vt master and your rear goes to the front...works a treat
