Ok got some calipers with the standard lines and carriers for cheaps :evil:
My question is will my hand brake cables fit into the mk4/bora calipers?

hand brake cables are fine, and you don't need the carriers and the hoses wont fit. you need to buy some conversion hoses (and posted earlier) as the connections differ. most goodridge sellers will do a full kit inc conversion hoses (might be worth emailing a few?)

Im sure my rear calipers are banjo fitting (lucas) so realy should fit? If not then i need to get the convo kit and 6 line kit???

Make sure you check the bleed nipples on the mk4 calipers as they like to rip the threads out on removal/cracking off for bleeding
