I run a mk1 gravel rally car in WA state champ series. I have lots of bits, we use commodore calipers on 280mm magna discs, easy conversion, atm i am doing it to the rally car (tricky bit is getting it under 14" wheels!!!! almost done so i will let you know) fits fine under 15" wheels. I can give ya all the bits you need (can get them made up easily) to be copied for the commodore caliper conversion. I run camira calipers with gti vented front (235mm) discs on the back.
give me a bell on 0407 387 195. I have a workshop in o'connor

DBA sell blanks for the magna (undrilled), im not sure what model, but if you grab their book and have a look, i think they are same offset, only difference is about 2mm larger ID on the centre, just get a bush made up. Commodore brakes are the same from VB through to VP, you will need different connectors for the hydraulic fitting (same one as camira conversion). I had some spacer washers, about 2.5mm that sit between the caliper and mount to get the offset right. The commodore caliper uses a larger bolt to mount, so you can get a shoulder bolt or some bushes made up
will email ya some pics later on in the week.

Nice. This tuff is Gold. Perhaps it could be in another section though Brackie?
