handbrake!

[jammac]

will mk3 and mk4 calipers go straight on?

[hobbiniho]

yeh but for mk4 ones you need different brake lines they have a different type of fitting

[jammac]

mk3 calipers it is then! a trip to the scrappy

30 minutes ago dropping someone off I had to park on a little hill on the driveway and when pulling my handbreak up it felt and sounded like something snapped and now I have to pull the hand break higher up to engage it...

whats snapped/broke/....?

Might have snapped one of the teeth that hold the handbreak in place do you push the button in when u pull it up or do allow it to do the clicking thing all the time?

i got mk4 callipers going on mine, its been covered loads, braided lines are available for the conversion, these are £27 so you need to be getting the callipers at a very good price to offset the cost of these adapter lines i guess

heres the link for the adapters that im using:

ok kool, im assuming here then if you did the rear caliper mk4 conversion with the braided hoses you are talking about you would then only need to buy the 4 hose kit for the front brakes? rather than the 6 hose kit?

as recently pointed out to me, some inline 4 kits, cover the front flexi hoses, and to the rear calliper.. not the ones over the rear beam and the fronts as id expect..  but some do? i still need to look into that as im not really doing any work to here till next year now.
