If you are going mk4 calliper then you will need the adapter flexi's too as the mk2/3 are screw in types and the mk4's are banjo type fittings

Hi, thanks for that!

Would you know the best source? Seems Goodridge do them?

I understand drums are easier to maintain and generally more reliable, but let's be honest, they look gash.

Just paint the drums satin black it is all I ever used to do.

Drums are stronger handbrakes.

Would say discs are easier to maintain and better braking for foot pedal.

That's not the issue, he wants discs, he gets discs.

Where all my moneys went.
