Only the standard mk2 disc
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Or you can machine the centre out of an HQ disk and adapt it to fit to a CF hub. This gives you the std CF hub, bearings and stud pattern with a disk break setup.

I have a Castlemaine Rod Shop disc kit and blank (pre-drilled) HQ discs, which, reluctantly, still have not been fitted as yet. The HQ rotors aren't diametrically wide enough to take a CF stud pattern, so it means new wheels and a rear axle flange re-stud. Then of course, there's the dreaded offset problem (which Gordon worked hard to rectify), otherwise requiring a guard job. AARRRRRGGGGGHH  >:

From what I've heard, the CF2 disc setup didn't work significantly better than the drums. My drum braking was improved with the change to an XA/XB Ford master cylinder and booster. They work fine, unless I'm carrying a substantial  load.

The next step for me, is to fit my CRS kit, with a 25mm rolled tube guard flair and then a respray. Hopefully, one day.

Damn, spelled flare wrong.
Because brake shoes no longer contain asbestos, glazing on the drums may cause squealing, occasionally requiring a bit of a scuff-up.

I only have a Holden red 6, so the old drum brakes suffice for now.
