Another HR Brake Question (Using UC Brakes)

Ok. A mate of mine has given me a pair of HR Disc Brake Stub axles (decided to go this way as I already have the VH40). I have a UC Torana that I have just rem removed the Calipers and discs from.
I noticed that the HR Disc Stubs have screw threads tapped in the 2 lower bolt holes where the backing plate for the disc attaches where the Torana didn't (the bolts went straight through and attached at the back). Also, the HR Stubs have a fine thread where the 'Caliper backing Plate' attaches to it, where the Torana has a coarse thread?

Sorry if this is a little confusing Guys, but I wanted to make sure that these are definitely HR stubs I have been given, and that the existing bolts on my HR Drum Brake front end are going to fit?

Has anyone got info on this?

Cheers
Peter

HR disc stubs

I have a couple of pictures of HR disc stubs in my shed but This one shows a comparison between a HR stub and a LH/X stub.
As you can see in the picture a HR stub has a smaller thread where the bearing lock nut goes on.
Of all the disc brake stubs only HR runs this small nut size.
You may also want to have a read of This thread about HR disc brake conversions.
