The bolt holes and offset won't line up because they are for a Chev and not a Ford. The caliper cradle (some call it a bracket) is different for each car eg HSV , FORD and Chev along with the Toyota they fitted them too.
Wjhat we may be able to do is use them for the 355mm kits we used to do back in the day if they fit the 32mm disc.

Thanks Matt


Update, It's Powerstop that are making them





Power Stop calipers and the brackets are remanufactured in our Chicago, IL facility


Power Stop calipers are 100% pressure tested to verify piston operation and prevent any possible leaks from occurring. This insures that every caliper is inspected for quality and safety. Every caliper kit is expertly assembled using new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips. High temperature EPDM rubber dust boots and premium silicone lubricant.

Do you think these might work if you used the Ford caliper brackets on them? Or is there more to it than just using brackets (of course assuming the brackets and slides mate correctly to the caliper)?

So, what do you think would be needed to fit these calipers then? I am very keen to replace my FG calipers so that it can accept a larger disc, but I do not want to go Brembos and have to swap wheels. The Territory Turbo calipers do not fit FG, do you think there's any other option now or in the future?

The "Power stop calipers" ? i would have to look at them and see how they are built but i would say a custom caliper bracket.
We have done this in the past and found the caliper to use on a 355mm disc but it is now out of production. We have had a few other options in mind although some require a rotor mod which we prefer not too do. A custom bracket for the caliper is best but trying to find a caliper to suit certain rotors is a taking time.
The Power stop calipers might be the answer and a AFF member was going to buy a pair and send them but that hasn't happened as yet.
I may start looking into this or a similar kit again if it gains traction.
