RE: calipers
13" Wheel + 10.1 inch disk won't work.
These are the things that are different:
KH Caliper and bolts
KH carrier (bolts to hub)
brake hoses to fit the KH caliper
KH style 9.4" vented disc
pads to go with it.

rats. Thanks for the help.
OK here's my deal:
Frankenrabbit (ProRally car) has a brake setup from a Scirocco 16V and we
run 14 wheels and rally tires--which is fine. Except, that someone has
offered a supply of 13 inch ice racing tires (studded -- or maybe spiked
is
more accurate) on which to run a season of ice rallycrosses. We have
lots
of 13 in. wheels on which to mount them, so it makes sense to try to make
a
setup that we can (relatively) easily swap to that will work with the 13
inch wheels -- and they will be good spares for rallies.
My question is: What is needed to make this happen? If we had hubs all
set
up with bearings, disks and calipers, would we be set? Or am I missing
something?
AND, does anyone know if there is such a thing as a quick-disconnect
fitting
for brake lines? If so, where can they be obtained? This would be a BIG
help when we are trying to do fast disaster recovery during an event
service.
Thanks again
Damien
