Need to get brackets, R32 discs and Porsche to Vag brake lines. All can be bought over the net. Pop onto R32 owners club and do a search there's a good few threads on there about them. 


Here a picture of the brackets, I got a friend to make these but you can get them from eBay or there's a lad on R32 owners club that make them.

Not feeling the idea of all that extra braking force transfered through those carrier adapter brackets.  :undecided:

Come off it... I know it is a 'soft' metal but I feel that would cope fine.

Metals have come a long way since Meccano!  :grin:

would you risk it though??????

when it comes to brakes you want to make sure every component is of good quality

I appreciate the importance of brakes, but I don't think that aluminium bracket would fail. I'd be worried about the tyres and or road surface more.

It shouldn't do but as far as metals go its not greatest for the application. Its light but weak compared to steel. Id be wary with them after a little while
