This is a 16inch FTR with an EL GT disk 330mm, i did try to fit the wheel over when it was all bolted up and no chance, i would assume this will be the same

That ftr with that disk behind it looks awesome!!! You'd best stick with the 19's corey.

In regards to the cracking, I wonder if smaller cuts could be used? Say a .5mm cut. Would take longer, but results would be worth it. Cheers ToranaGuy

Cheers ToranaGuy unfortunatly its not as simple in nsw, to get a brake upgrade complient/engineered it has to under go a proper braking test, which involves a racetrack and about $2000 just for the test... i wouldnt worry about it, afaik none of the brake upgrade kits are engineered to be adr complient anyway... |

Well here's a pic of the upright modified . Hardest part was figuring out where to drill the hole .
The hole will have to be re-drilled with the mill a it's not very square lol and made slightly larger . All faces will be milled flat then holes drilled . Then just have to make a bracket .

Mine never went on a race track, he did he's calculations and took it for a spin with some heavy braking, all signed, though my disks were proper ones not a cut up hub so that could play on things i suppose

It will depend on the engineer, but I can't see any being willing to sign off on the hub you've used without significant testing - most don't want to sign off on things unless they have done the machining or it is through someone they recommend (i.e. a professional with PI insurance). If they are willing to sign off on it they are likely to require a heap of crack/stress testing.
If they sign off on it without this testing and it later fails they are up for big negligence payments and big fines.

^^^^ Yep, most certainly - mention welding and they'll scamper
 .It has been mentioned on Aufalcon and FF that you don't need to change the master cyl. There are a few differences on primary/secondary piston capacities, and most significant, split points - particularly with wagons. Probably not noticeable with moderate braking, but might be significant with hard/emergency stops. A guy on FF noted that you need a 3mm spacer plate for REAR brakes to swap pre AUII calipers to AUII units. But from what I can find, the only difference in the rear is thicker discs (around 5.5mm)- so a caliper change isn't necessary - as the FF guy says too.
