I'll see how it goes after I trim the shims , the clearance between the side of the rotor and anchor plate is 3 mm on both sides top of rotor is around 1-2 mm

I'll need to also use au2 brake lines or get adapator fittings . Seeing as the theads a JIC I'll stick with the el lines and use fittings .

Master Cylinder will bolt up but the rod on the Booster is diferent to the EF/EL, needs the AUII to match with. AUII Booster needs 4 holes to bolt up, very much like the EB/ED Boosters. Only the EF/EL AUI were 2 bolt. |

AUII master will bolt up as mentioned to an EF/EL booster. The AUII snout is about 4mm longer, but the EF/EL booster recess is deep enough for it to fit. The EF/EL master cyl has a deeper recess for the booster pushrod than the AUII, so you'll need to adjust in the screw at the pushrod end. A bit of depth measuring should see you have it sorted.
Check at a brake place, but I'd think you'd need to adjust it to have a slight gap with the piston at rest. Brakeline fittings look the same. The EF/EL piston stroke is about 2-3mm longer than the AU, but I'd doubt that it would provide an issue. Boosters seem to all be 230mm single diaphragm, so I'd think there'd wouldn't be any assistance differences. Correct me if I'm wrong . . . .

Isn't the au2 brake booster twin diaphragm , therefore better than el single diaphragm ?
Tomorrow I'll be swapping rotors so the slots face to the rear , so who knows it might brake a lot better then ?

Correct me if I'm wrong . . . . without getting to far into it, if the au2 master fits e series booster as mentioned, wtf is on our au? it wont bolt up to my ed booster, there is about 20mm diference in bolt spacing... |

Is there a difference between the boxcar and EF/EL master cylinder bolt spacings?

According to this au2 brake booster is twin diaphragm

Good pickup.
Ash's comments in that thread are consistent with what I said about pushrod lengths. Might have to investigate feasibility of swapping booster internals - mainly for convenience of running EF/EL booster body.

I would rather the au2 booster because its metal , I've had the plastic ones crack and its not the best thing when your going down jamberoo pass and have to the hand brake to slow down lol
Anyway my stickers finally came .

Manual transmissions make good brakes also - especially down steep hills.

Found out why the shim was rubbing on the rotor , it wasn't the rotor moving it was the shim sliding . I still trimmed it down and bent the tabs over so it couldnt move , that should fix it.
Swapped the rotors over and twisted the brake lines so they don't touch anything and sit up high   ,,
