i assume you bought 239mm calipers? if so make sure they're stamped 'VWII'  if they are then you need to get MK1 1.5-1.8 carriers then they'll bolt on.  servo you want a 9" one from any MK2 1.8 model, servo get a 22mm 16v/g60 one.  you need to cut the thread down on the mk2 servo, and fit the mk1 servo clevis pin to it.
