Can someone confirm for me that a gti 16v 1990 should have proper bolts and not those awful alan key bolts fitted ?? that I found on my driver and the gti hubs i bought

Did a search and cant find owt but posts on the alan key types   :shocked:

No, it should have 'standard' M8 bolts to bolt the caliper to the caliper carriers and then larger bolts to secure the caliper carriers to the hub, not the bollox allen-headed ones.

I did write up a bit about G2 brakes and put it here (http://diamondhell.com/content/view/32/30/)
