They should mate yes. It's possible that the hinge mount has come loose and that's why it's not lining up. It's just like a door catch, you might have to spend some time with it to get it right.
The catch for this mechanism has packers under it to get it at the right height to function correctly. Try adding or removing packers, from memory i have a bunch of packers from the 2 X 2+2's i parted out.
Hi gents, i am chasing one of these brake block thingys. Could anyone assist me? I need to get the brakes running in this car prefer before Christmas.
PM Me if you can help.
Cheers

Same style that i had G but leaving here stock. White on top Black on the bottom. Getting one of those Jap body kits with wider flares, G-Nose, Front and rear Spoilers. Then manual conversion and Blake is also contemplating Turbo.
I like my Small Black Ford 2+2. So do a bunch of other people. Getting the engine sitting right is the battle. If you can do the work yourself then go for it otherwise yea you are 50K +
Hey fuzzy talk to Dale regarding the gearbox. A guy up the road from him has one. Also i am responsible for pinching Rob's Mustache bar so if anyone could help that would be awesome. P.S. Rob you don't need the bar to move the Zed.

.8 is a fade test where they 60 to 0 twenty times in a row then last stop 100 to 0 to test brake fade. I will have another Rear R31 kit ready next week. Send me a message as i will give you the Auszcar discount if you are interested. Kits come minus pads and rotors so you can choose your own combo.

I have the S12+8 R31 rear on my V8 260Z. Parts wise you would be looking around $1000. I actually sell the rear conversion kits for the R31 (how ironic) It pulled negative 1.49 G on a brake test, engineering requires negative .8 G to pass.
