I’m after the 4 rear beam mounts if anybody has them ? I’ts the two triangle mounts and the two lollipop mounts from the mk2 not the mk3.
Required for a mk1 conversion.

Thanks !

Adam.

How cool. It’s funny as just today I was thinking about how these might be fabricated. Nice work.

I thought the Mk2 and Mk3 mounts were the same?

Mk 3 VR6 mounts are different than the mk2 they will bolt up to the Mk 2 bodyshell but the end bushes are thicker & wider.

Okay, interesting, is there anything I would want from an Mk3 instead of the Mk2 as far as my Syncro conversion goes?

*thanks again so much for all of your knowledge*

I dont know about Want from a golf 3, but you definitely dont want the rear triangle/hub carriers as they do not have the lugs for fitting the rear discs, only the Wide track Golf VR6 has them, The Passat VR6 also has the lugs but is not wide track.

Please pardon the stutter, I guess I was excited.

Yeah, from my research, the Passat G60 Syncro has the same brakes as the Rallye Golf. So, I’m happy about that for sure.

There’s a set on eBay at the moment if you’re still after them (not mine by the way) Pricey though!
