Mate GQ diffs are in the centre of the housing whereas MQ's are offset to the drivers side.
No good at all.

I'll get ahold of that camera and post up some pics of the car, and might remove a caliper and take some more detailed pics of the brackets.

From what i can see, the bracket is just 8-10mm plate cut to sit on the axle tube on one side and then cut so that the tarago caliper can bolt to it, the plate sits on the inside of the flange on the end of the axle tube, it is welded to the axle tube, and the holes in the flange are continued through the plate bracket so the axle retaining bolts can go through (seen in the photo)

As far as qg stuff goes, thats probably a logical choice, im not familiar with it though and don't know how the proportioning would go, i guess it comes down to the piston diameter and its radius from the axle.
But like i said my rear disks are from the front of a cruiser and the tarago calipers, and it hasn't had any proportioning mods and works fine....

The cruiser disks are from the REAR of a 75 series and the calipers are 86 or 87 tarago ones, think i said they were front disks at some stage. :cool:
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
