Re: Building a 16V (Mk1 Rocco)

[Sal Guzzo <yu129742@YorkU.CA>]

So your'e saying that in order to go to the motronic system, I have to put
everything on the passenger side.  Can't I use the motronic setup and
retain everything on the driver side.  That's what i wanna do.  I really
wanna keep everything looking like a Scirocco (driver's side everything).
I'll prolly relocate the battery in the trunk anyways. Not sure yet.  Like
I said, I wanna do my research before anything else.

I already have the master cylinder and proportioning valves (these are the
ones on the m/c, right?), brake booster, and I believe that I also have the
brake switch which hooks up to the pedal assembly. Do I need to add the
brake swithch?  

I'm gonna hopefully get all the brake parts done up by the end of the xmas
holidays.  Then I'm gonna start with the motor parts.  Yippeee!
