---Bilstiens and H&Rs are good.  Actually, the Eurosport upper stress bar is 
only like $79.95, has the exact same tubular structure, yet lacks the Honda 
gayness of the Nuespeed name printed on it.  Come to think of it, you can get 
the whole tie bar package (front upper and lower, rear triangluated) for 
$179.95 I believe.  There is a link for the Eurosport website at Scirocco.org.

---Agreed, thought it probably isn't worth you time and $$ trying to do a 
brake conversion.  Unless you want it for the looks.  But make sure you 
change the master cylinder and all too along with the drums to discs, etc.  
On my old '78 'rocco, I just painted the rear drums bright silver and I 
thought it looked great underneat my '15 MOMOs.
