Howz it goin? well just thought i'd let fou know that youve inspired me to do a brake upgrade... not as extreme as yours, but i want to get discs on the back and contemplaiting the commodore discs on the front too,
my queery is your master cylender, there are a few different xf falcon cylenders and also, there is a few different gem cylenders.

what is your gem? i cant remember? because i know the te has a different booster to a tg/tf, the studs that bolt the booster to the master cyl are a different offset and pattern and are not interchangable, also how many outlets does your xf cylender have?? as tf/tg gems had 3 outlets as compared to the te's 2..(i think)

any help would be great, correct me if im wrong on any of these numbers
thanks mate

Although the Te boosters aint interchangeable wit TF/G ones the whole master cylinder is interchangeable u just gotta change the pipes aswell. so if u are changing the whole master cylinder theres no real different gemini ones so it shouldnt matter what model gem you or him has.

im refering to the studs that hold the master to the booster.

on a TE they are flat and in line with the centre, on a TF/G they are on a angle, and are a bit wider, so gem master cylenders are very different,

im just wondering now if the te booster AND cylender will go into a tg alright... but what about that bias valve thing that the te have

Is this from a workshop ? Is that like a package deal kind of thing they do ?
What about a rear disk conversion, whats the damage on that ? And which parts are used ?
I'm just getting all my bills out of the way, and will be looking into the brake upgrade when the finances come good.
If i hit u up over it in a few months time, will the same offer be on the table ?

Cheers,

Its actually the XB master, has a front and rear outlet and thats it from memory. Mines a TE so i can't help ya on the differing booster etc, but the others seem to have done that. Master bolted straigh up no filing etc of the hole needed, vacuum line was a tight fit back into the booster but, used a touch of silastic to make sure it sealed up alrite... Those brakes gene can get is a fucken good deal... As for rears depending on how hard you look you could almost find a disk brake diff for $100 like i did, then for $50 or so you could get the spigot and handbrake cable mount. Check the workshop section gene did a good write up for that... Hope that helps otherwise get back to us if you need any other help...
