There are 2 different caliper assembly bolt patterns and rotor offsets. The 80-85 are one type, 86-91 the other type. You can't mix between those 2 groups, not even close. The 86+ floating fronts can be Girling or ATE but you must have matching caliper carriers to go with whichever type caliper. The Girling uses a guide pin that bolts to the caliper while the ATE uses a guide pin that screws into the carrier, AFAIK.
