I now have a handbrake!!!
« on: 17 May 2008, 18:03 »
just wacked my MK4 calipers on my valver. :grin:
Piece of p|ss to do, and my handbrake is now a treat!

just back in morning for another bleeds as my pedal is kak!!!

Only problem I had was I was also plannig to fit braided hose to the front, but the kit I've been supplied with won't fit, It needs to be female on each end, the hoses I had one was male other was female :undecided:

Any ideas why?

UPGRADE TO MK4 REAR CALIPERS ITS A MUST :grin:

Well done, have you uprated the front brakes at all?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
