Hi Andy, More than 12 months since last looking at this thread. Yes the Corona's had twin 4 piston calipers when they were first built. This was an AP system called the Balance Brake System. On the Saturday of their first event Ford protested after MANZ, the NZ ASN, had approved them. However at the stewards hearing we were thrown out. It seems the scrutineers were Judges of Fact and we couldn't appeal their decision, even though they had been approved. A simple single 4 piston caliper was then fitted.
One of the Camrys that Dave Cook built in the UK to Super Touring regs and raced in the South African Championship did end up in Australia and was run at Bathurst and other races by Mike Quinn of Pheonix Motor Sport.
Interestingly Dave Cook and Graham Green also helped me when I ran a Honda Super Tourer at Bathurst in 1997, once again with Julian Bailey driving with Warren Luff.
I'd like to contact Dave Cook if anybody could PM me with his contact details.
Keep in touch and let me know how you're going with the Corona.
Cheers, David Vervaart.
