brake upgrades

[Chris S]

Yes they will, but you may have to get a bit creative with your handbrake cable

I am replacing my rear drums with….more drums! However, the ones I ordered from VW heritage are just the standard one Golf drums. Any idea where I can get the proper drums and/or the difference between them? All help as usual is greatly appreciated, I am stumped at the moment.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to buy these? If not, does anyone have the dimensions so I can make my own?

Thanks,

Thanks Chris. It looks like the Corrado 2.9 VR6 and the golf 3 2.0 gti are the same discs according to this listing…

Now I just need someone to make me some custom driveshafts [xx(]

Hi Vegard! Did u ever got the custom carrier made for 256mm s3 disc’s under your car? If so how was it and do u still have drawings for it?
I remember you mentioning that they did weight 2kg for each, were they made from steel or aluminium?

If anyone else has something to share concerning this conversation I would be happy to hear since I would eager to keep my 15″ zenders!

[lloydy]

i am thinking of doing the 239/10 rear disc upgrade to my Country, has anyone done this and have a definitive answer to what to do with the handbrake?

[AndyF]

I’m after a set of rear calliper carriers to convert my mk2 syncro from drums to discs. I have most of the parts, apart from the calliper carriers. Does anybody have any kicking around? Or can point me in the right direction, thanks.

[conor]

You need golf rallye rear carriers. I see you put a set up for sale?

[AndyF]

Nope – I posted asking if anybody had a pair I could purchase. (Maybe I posted in the wrong place?)

[conor]

Apologies, I saw that you replied to a for sale thread, I got confused!

There is a set here, bit pricey though!

[conor]

The link wouldn’t work,
