Could the rubbing be from too tight of clearances due to the original measurements done with crappy rotors? Cheers ToranaGuy

Thats pretty much it. Using s**t rotors then not enough clearance with new ones , that's why it's best to mount the caliper with a new rotor , as it was all trial and error I had no idea it was going to work , so didn't want to spend Money that I didn't need to .
It only rubs in the corner , an hour with a file would fix it .

Nah the spongy pedal went hard / normal after a few bleeds and braking , and car pulls up great now . I love using the brakes knowing I can actually stop . Takes about 2.5 - 3 seconds to get from 100 km to 60 km . Don't quote me that's just my estimation at the top of my head .
I think macxr8 had done it , he had a ef xr6 with au front end au IRS .

im not sure on the exact size or thread i havnt got an adaptor yet, but the au has a larger diameter fitting..
so its an adaptor from the small e series line to the larger au thread.. |

I'd say it would be a JIC fitting

In addition to the differences between EF/EL and AUII mast cyls I posted on pg 25, looks like the brake line ports are the same thread fitting - EF/EL lines probably need bending slightly forward due to the wider AUII booster.
AUII booster internals are different to EF/EL booster, so no internal swaps. Looking at the EB/ED mast cyls on the weekend, looks like the housing is cast differently to later ones - proportioning valve housing is cast with standoffs, rather than one cast with the main body, brake fail switch different location, etc. Didn't take one off to measure though.
