apache_dj Member 145 Member For: 19y 9m 2d Location: Auckland NZ Posted 10/01/08 11:54 PM Share Posted 10/01/08 11:54 PM The Territory spindles are totally different to the falcons so that's a non starter."so with the caliper in place the rotor is not centreilised... is that right? is the a bracket or plate you could modify from the hub to allow the caliper to sit further out??? "No the problem is, with the rotors on the caliper will not even reach the bolt holes to bolt to the spindle - the rotor is too large, or the mounting holes for the caliper are too low. The TT must had different spindles to the NA Territory specially to take the bigger rotors. The holes are very close, but there also needs to be clearance for the ouside edge of the rotor in the caliper so maybe only 5mm in it. The rotor would be centred in the caliper if it fit. The breaker is still closed so I have to wait.I am going to try test fitting them again as I figure that I could just have the rotors machined to 335, 330mm or whatever is the largest diameter I could get to fit. Not exactly straight a bolt on fix like I was hoping for. A bit of a worry when it's time to buy new rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left is the stock BA then the 340x32 TT front then the 328x26 rear. You can also see the difference in the thickness and the hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache_dj Member 145 Member For: 19y 9m 2d Location: Auckland NZ Posted 11/01/08 07:26 AM Share Posted 11/01/08 07:26 AM I was going to machine the rotors to fit but the whole setup costs $600 more and when machined will give only 4mm thicker and 8mm or so larger diameter. What do you think? machined they will be I estimate 330x32 opposed to the NA 322x28, the rears are the same so it comes down to will it be $600 better or would I be better off sticking to the BF/NA Terri brakes?

apache_dj Member 145 Member For: 19y 9m 2d Location: Auckland NZ Posted 05/02/08 09:37 AM Share Posted 05/02/08 09:37 AM A weird thing - the NA territory brakes which are the same as the BF turbo front brake dont fit my car either. I'm starting to think the front spindles are off an earlier falcon perhaps an AU1. There are a couple of kits on ebay that are supposed to be bolt that are exactly the same and fi the BA. FTG sell the 322x28 which is the same. My car is a BA MK1 from October 2003? I was told it had been in a minor bender and had panel damage but maybe they had to replace the front spindles. Oh well a trip to the wreckers should solve that - maybe the big 340x32 off the turbo terri should have fit.The rear vented rotors and larger calipers fit a treat and when it's all bled I cant wait to see how much better it stops - it sure looks a heap better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went on no problems.I have since found out that though Terry and BF XR8/6T calipers/rotors seem to be the same thing, they are not. This is why they won't fit your car, they won't fit anyones car. We all thought they must but the Terry does have different front end geometry and the rotors are the same but the actual calipers are different for the two mounting points. I am sure an NA Terry could fit the Turbo Terry calipers, but it's no go for a Falcon.You really need calipers that came off a BF. For the fronts that is.
