g60 brakes
« on: 27 April 2011, 23:31 »
Quick question been told I have g60 brakes on the front of the mk2 but I just bought mk2 g60 goodrige hoses and they dont fit as both ends of the goodrige hoses are the same and I need one that screws into the calliper if you get me. How can I tell visually if they are g60 or gti ones? How do I measure the width eg 280mm?
Cheers

you have the correct hoses for G60,  you need the hardline standoffs for the calipers,   

can use 16v hoses as they screw straight in the caliper but sometimes the wheels will try and eat them
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Short length of brake line, which has a plate that bolts to the carrier, to which the flexi attaches.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
