Just realised mate. You need to change steering arms too. Probably for that reason.

Look here it's in the table.

Tomorrow is seeing a day spent on the little golf.. Pedal box and m/c here so will attempt fitting of that tomorrow as well.. m/c looks nearly new and is genuine VW which im happy with..

Also its going to get new kunifer brake lines from flexi's to my new 23mm m/c  :wink:

Lets hope the weather holds up !

Sounds like a plan.

Your 23mm M/c where is the dimension that is different from the 22mm? Iirc it's the plunger? I bought a 23mm aaaaaages ago and never fitted and have vernier gauges now so just wanted to see if I'd been sold a lemon or not.

It's 23mm piston it's from seat Ibiza cupra iirc

Managed to get 3 metal brake lines fitted and run out of kunifer :(

Also the m/c has small ports one side and big the other so need some more unions :(

Two new front flexis genuine vw fitted for sum of £10 delivered :)

I dont know to be totally honest mate just bought it... looks good and is stubby for if i ever go 1.8t..

More bits on their way..

Thermostat and o-ring... short flexi hose lines so i can finish the brakes off.... fuel filter.. and a few other little bits nothing exciting..

Spent afternoon on the old girl today..

Removed boot plinth checked for rust there was none so replaced screws with stainless items..

Ran some more brake lines now have all new fronts.. The two long ones to rear..

Need to remove rear rubber flexis which are a pain and replace with my new ones.. And run short hard lines at the rear..

Going to maybe remove engine tomorrow and fit pedal box and cable shifter
