Brakes

Regarding the rear calipers.
Goto your local autoparts store.ie. NAPA, BowWow etc. not autozone im
biased ive had to return toooo many times cause they gave me the wrong
parts -- both US and non-US cars I even once got a "rebuilt" CV with no
ball bearings in it.

anyway boack on topic. buy the rebuilt ones. they should be less than 30
each. just play swap until you get a set that parking brake works. And no
i cant take credit for this.. this is another listers advice.. im just
passing it on.

So, Erik has no rear brakes.  But you know what the scary part is?  It still stops better than my Golf.  Dunno how.  So,  for you guys and Gal ;) that are parting out Rocco's let me know if it has rear discs at almost 300.00 for calipers they are heart stoppers.

I know of a few guys through work who can cut the brackets for me.  So much for a cheap car to play with.  First the EFI scheme which Monika still gives me stares for that dare speak no words.  And now this.  I'm not gonna tell her till it's too late.
