Its a hard call DH the steel might be better, but they rust like fuc*k regardless as the metal is really thin and tin like  :grin:

If you can ask Beavis for me if he can get the fronts cheap I'll be really impressed mate  :smug:

I've got a brand new set of(OEM) shields for the MK1 from my old Clipper might be worth a swap?

Yeah I'm going to take mine off and inspect them but got a feeling they won't come off too easily!
If they are fine yeah I'll clean them up, its just so frustrating on a essential part of the brakes, after 20 odd years the golf has really become rare even after the numbers millions of sales. I'm starting to understand why people break them more due to lack of parts  :cry:
