Mk4 caliper threaded! Arg!
« on: 06 September 2011, 18:45 »
 Just wondering if anyone knew of somewhere in Norfolk that I could get my caliper rethreaded? I have been putting mk4 calipers on my mk2 and managed to crossthread where the conversion hoses mate with the caliper making it leak! Nightmare!

Failing that, if anyone had a passenger side mk4 rear caliper I would gladly put some money their way

Thanks in advance

Cant understand how people manage to crossthread stuff. Get down to your local engineer :grin:

The kit came with 2 copper o rings per side. Not sure how I did it, just started tightening it up and it was still leaking. Tried to make sure the surfaces were all flat and everything but no good.

I live in Dereham at the mo but moving back to Norwich soon. Where abouts are you? :)
