Correct it's much easier to put AU2 brakes on a AU1 than a e series .
All you need is AU2 uprights, calipers , rotors . Probably few other things . But yeah all bolts up

No problems man , it's about brakes and s**t lol
If it works ( which it will fingers crossed ) I'll make up a how to thread for anyone wanting to do it .
As long as you can get acces to a lathe and mill you can do it for under $700, probably even $500.

I've spent more money on buying equipment than the parts lol
Angle grinder $60
Sand blasting kit $40
Brake cleaner $16
................
Calipers $40

Haha postage would be more than the slab lol.

AU series 1 is similar to e series brakes , you'll have to change the uprights to AU2 as they have the holes for the twin piston caliper .
AU2 brakes and TE50 brakes are the same . Except TE run a bigger rotor .

TE also run a different caliper, a PBR C4 caliper. Same as I have in my RBM kit.

Nope. Series 2 XR6 Turbo I believe had the C4's on them.

The C4 Caliper is used in the AU Premium brake kit. Dave's TE has C4 Calipers.

Difference:

Red Caliper with COBRA is a C4 Caliper

It has the 2 holes like Dave's . So what's a AU2 twin piston caliper called ?
And what's the difference between it and a c4 premo caliper ?

Dave's is the same as an AU2 Premo caliper.

AU2 Caliper, I am unsure of the name.

Here's a good guide for AUI to AUII/III upgrade:
http://mobile.fordforums.com.au/showthr ... t=11263967

Hey Corey, don't forget to swap calipers around (D on P side, P on D side), so that the bleeder is at the highest point. This will mean it will be close to the upright.
