OK, but what do you classify as "decent pads"?
Certainly nothing made by Bendix or EBC.
In these calipers I use ABL lining material on my own backing plates (made in Liverpool NSW by Australian Friction Industries). Also work well without a booster in early Galants.

Re: GH scorp struts the same as gh green legs?

My OPINION is based on the fact that I've been in the mechanical repair business for over 40 years have and worked on most brake systems. The Jap caliper...

Re: GH scorp struts the same as gh green legs?
GH Sigma I seem to recall came with 3 different coloured struts,(green, brown & black?) which had different lengths and diameters. Thes were made by Monroe in Adelaide. Scorpion struts were made by either KYB or Tocico in Japan and can use Galant GA/GD inserts with Scorpion retaining nuts. You c...

Re: NEW TOP STRUT MOUNTS AND COUPE REAR RUBBERS.. EOI PLEASE.
Sorry you lost money on the previous deal........If the cost is around $100 that's OK, and time is not an issue. I had a new screen fitted when I first bought the car about 4 years ago, and had to resort to using a screen rubber for a GA/GB sedan. This works OK except I can't fit the original stainl...

Hi Shuggy,
I just joined the site a couple of days ago.
Is it still possible for you to source a front screen rubber for my GC Hardtop?....Or have I missed the boat?

Re: Galant Hardtop and GTO Owners Register.......
I have made the relevant changes.
I also had a white '74 GC Hardtop which previously belonged to my son. It was somewhat rusty so I wrecked it about 4 years ago.
I have owned 5 Galants since 1972 and my present GC Hardtop is the most recent model.

Re: Galant Hardtop and GTO Owners Register.......
Hi, My GC Hardtop was originally sold in Grafton NSW. I purchased it about 5 years ago from the second owner (also in Grafton) who replaced the corroded original head with a square port version. He then realised the exhaust manifold didn't fit and could only find extractors which are still fitted. O...
