thanks for the info! bill's isuzu my be able to help and summit didn't have anything. i got a g180z in the car now and the g200z in process of rebuild. the worst part of the swap was exhaust as it was tight to the steering shaft(left hand drive here in usa). cheers..marc

hi tx
the fronts are disc, single piston,two pin floating caliper,gm design. the rears are small drums with star wheel adjusters. my old opel(1978) had fixed caliper twin piston, is that what your tx has?
