Log into eBay and then try the link. Works OK for me here.

Thanks guys.
Bit of a misunderstanding, I have a vz master/booster already, but thought someone was selling just the bracket to mount later model booster to the stock firewall.

I think this contact markovr is making or selling them.
Isn't the vt - vz master cylinder booster the same?

I didn't realise the mod was that expensive. Sounds like if you take out pads you would still be up over $900?? Certainly be a nice upgrade but I will stick with the more economical way and work with what I have to make it better than factory, by braiding lines and putting QFM pads all round, as well as rebuilding the calipers. It just not as good as a VT upgrade obviously but I will have to live with that.

i flushed the brakes lines adjusted hand brake shoes and cable fitted new front pads and took it for a decent drive
pull over at bennetts green after the bypass to check the rear rotor hats to see the hand brake shoes were dragging no they were cold
i bought a air brake bleeder from ebay hook it to a compressor 23 bucks thats one tool i thoroughly recommend
after all that i say the brakes are marginally better buts it good to have hand brake after a couple years.. i know. been a bit slack

Pulled the seats and carpet out of my wrecking VS wagon to go into my $200 VS wagon. Have only found build sheets under the carpet before, but had a surprise with finding this.

Looks like the backing form the V6 ecotec badge.

About to do a return trip to Mildura again, with a trailer. Four days of driving. So, Oil and Filter @ 493630. Also change the Diff oil as I could't remember if I used LSD compatible fluid last time. Used a handy $8 sucky thing I got from Aldi last week. (I have limited tools, so easier to suck it out than drain it out.)

Also couldn't get bonnet open - stupid me ended up undoing the bonnet latch pin with a screwdriver and plyers to turn it then a smaller screwdriver to slide the locking spring over; before realising that it was actually the bonnet lever in the cabin that had jumped out of its socket. If I'd read a bit more closely I would have found that out first.

I busted the ignition barrel in the Berlina, and then busted the spare one from the Calais, trying to fix the first one
