Rear Brake Callipers

[Kent]

Hi all,

My rear callipers are sticking on the rear and need replacing. I have been told I can get mk3 & mk4 ones to fit but are modification or adaptors needed?

Also which are best? ive been told mk3 do not start to stick over time but they are heavy   or   the mk4 they are a lot lighter but in time stick like the mk2 ones.

Any advice welcome

mk4 ones are aluminium alloy thus lighter. You can get a stainless mk2 to mk4 braided hose for the conversion. Not heard of mk4 ones sticking but haven't done it myself so can't be 100%.

When it comes time to replace mine I will be sticking on a pair of mk4 ones though...

convert to drums. Properly set up they are as good as rear discs and are also a lot lighter too....

Does anyone know of a guide on how to fit the mk4 calliper? also where to get the mk2 to mk4 braided hose?
