I don't think hub height is indicative of the caliper offset but I wouldn't be surprised if they bolt on anyway. John Spencer was it, with the blue 1600 that won Classic Adelaide used the VT twin spot calipers. Wouldn't tell me what disc!!! Might be a good idea to ask the commodore boys. I know a lot of companies make upgrades for the early model commodores using these VT twin spots. $90 is good, when I rung holden a couple of yeras ago it was $150 each!
