Title: I now have a handbrake!!!
Post by: rowlers on 17 May 2008, 18:03

just wacked my MK4 calipers on my valver. :grin:
Piece of p|ss to do, and my handbrake is now a treat!

just back in morning for another bleeds as my pedal is kak!!!

Only problem I had was I was also plannig to fit braided hose to the front, but the kit I've been supplied with won't fit, It needs to be female on each end, the hoses I had one was male other was female :undecided:

Any ideas why?

UPGRADE TO MK4 REAR CALIPERS ITS A MUST :grin:

nah, sticking with std on the front, only put Mk4 on the back cos I was sick of the handbrake seizing.

maybe in the future :grin: :grin:
