Front Caliper bolts

[JC]

 

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   

yet the first side of mine I checked has standard bolts

Nope should have allen bolts can get them from GSF, ECP, Stealers etc.

  so what calipers / mounts / bolts have I got then ?

Shall have to do some piccies me thinks 

[Diamond Hell]

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

cheers D.H.

will measure them up tomorrow and try and get a piccy sorted

cheers
