Re: G60 brakes on an 85 4000q [was: 88 90q]

     I am familiar with Ben Howell's post too, and have serious doubts about its feasibility, or even if he ever really tried it.  Firts of all, the 80 has two piece strut housings and different front bearings and CV joints, so you would need the axles too if you were going to do it (which is not mentioned in Ben's post).  I am not even sure if the 80/90 CV will go into the 4kq tranny since they are totally different.  
     I think the best and easiest way to do g60's on a 4kq is to cut off the stock caliper mounting bracket and weld in a custom, relocated bracket for the g60...
Happy New Years everybody!
