Hi Folks, you might like this,
I've been having a play trying to work out what fits under standard 16v 16" Ronal mulitspokes with zero modification. I remembered a set of twin pot callipers from my old UR quattro lurking in a dusty box. For those of you who ran golfs years ago it will bring back fond memories.........
Oh dear - bolted straight on
, had to swap left to right and vice versa to allow the bleed nipple to go to the top and needed to alter the hoses to fit as they are way too short. The disadvantage is you have to drop to a 4x100pcd 276x28mm disc from 280mm. : but the pads are double the width These are both sourced from Audi 80 and 90's possibly some coupe's too. GSF std part and cheap too.
Anyway - feel is up by 500%, stop significantly better than the G60 stuff but will never beat a 312mm conversion. Just nice and tidy with zero machining and bomb proof. Designed for stopping a 2 ton turbo pig back in the 80's.
Done about 500 road miles and 150 stage miles now so well bedded in.
Like I say not the same as 312 but beats the pants off the std 280mm set up.
Did the whole set up inc new discs and pads s/h hoses for under £110. I had the callipers already but usually fetch £80 to £100 on e-bay as everyone has forgotten about these now, sourced from any V6 or big Audi and Audi UR and S2 Quattro. Careful as there are 2 virtually identiacal types of calliper but only one will fit. Can post part numbers on request.
Worth a try if you are on a budget and cant be fussed with slimming a clliper down to coffin lid thickness.
Cheers, Rich
