Quicky1980Ive got a vr6 rear syncro beam but no brackets that fit on both sides. Are both halves of each bracket specific to the vr6 setup or can i use G60 parts with the upper or lower vr6 bracket?
I as as the VR6 brackets are proving hard to get.
thanks
Chris SDo you know the vin number of the car your rear axle is from?
I ask cos there are 2 different upper mountings listed & also 2 options for the rubber bushes, 1 for each upper mounting
If your VR6 donor car was made before about the middle of Nov 94(up to vin nr 1H-S-221035)then the rubber bushes are the same as the G60 Golf ones, as are the through bolts @ 78mm long,
later than this there are different part numbers for everything + the through bolts are 4mm longer sugesting an increase in depth of the same amount.
While the early VR6 brackets have a different part nr to the G60 ones, it would suggest that as the through bolts & the rubber bushes are the same parts then the G60 brackets would also be a match,
the part number for the early VR6/G60 rubber bushes is 331 505 171 & for the later (thicker?) VR6 bushes is 357 505 171
Chris SSometimes they are available on ebay.de
Quicky1980Thanks guys, no I dont have the vin details unfortunately but it does have the larger bushes and I have those to look at and get part numbers off. Your comments make me worried that this is going to make it harder to find a hard to find part lol.
I constantly check ebay.de but even then they are hard to come by at a reasonable price.
