Re: Parts Needed: 16v Wheel Bearing Housings

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

Not bolt on CALIPERS, bolt on CARRIERS!!  There is a difference.  Plus, all
calipers have to bolt on somehow.  So, the ones with the bolt on caliper
carriers are the ones you can fit on 10.1" brakes on and (I thought) the
100mm axles.  I have used 84 knuckles for a future 100mm upgrade, I guess
I'll see if they fit when I put the tranny in (the axles that is).  Hope
this clears things up.  I may be a little off on the year but I know it
isn't specific to the 16v.
