Zac,
Yeah, I saw that but I can't judge 1/2" difference from that photo. I know
there is a 88.9/3.5" dunny VT calliper out there as I measured one (twice to
be sure) but the problem was I couldn't do much more than that as the car
was <1 hour since being picked up from the dealer when it was parked in my
driveway and 3 days later it got totalled and that was that. His new car
(Dasfleet) is a Fowlcan this time so I lost the opportunity to do some
serious measuring. I spose I could climb under one of the VT's from work
(also Dasfleet cars), damn I should of thought of that sooner as we have
heaps of them and the boss has a Verada (hehehe nah I couldn't do it - sh*t
that would be funny though).
regards,
Terry

Terry, look at the caliper mounts closely it looks like they might be 75/3"
(180b) spacing as they are quite close together.
I am guessing that the 240Z struts are 89mm because the Hilux 4spot calipers
bolt onto Z struts dont they?
Perhaps the VT twin spots are 3" and the VX are 89mm (bolt spacing). Where
did
you find out that the late Commodore calipers are 89mm?
Plus I wouldnt want to use 16" rims on my 1600. Maybe on a Zed though!
cya!
