Rear calipers (MKIV adaptor hoses)

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

I used the MKIV carriers, but I think the cariers are interchangeable.  Can't recall with 100% certainty, but that's my impression.  As far as your MK2 question, I'm not sure what you are asking.  Maybe you meant Scirocco II?  Anyway, this is about putting MKIV calipers on any MK1 VW.  Given that you can swap MK2 golf/jetta brakes onto a MK1, I'd imagine the MKIV stuff goes on there as well.  



The calipers will mount with the bleed screw on the bottom because the e-brake parts are reversed, so the calipers mount on the oppositte sides.  Not a big deal, IMHO.   You also have to undo a clip on the e-brake cable to get it adjusted around to the right place.  All of this is just like MK3 calipers, IIRC.



Now if I could just get something nice up front to get rid of those Girling paperweights...   Dread Scott has Wilwoods - <drool>.

Is this for Mk2 16v rears?  So the Mk4 calipers fit up to the 16v rear carriers?<br><br><br><br>On 5/20/06, Jason <verboten@michiganvw.org> wrote:<br>> i saw this on michiganvw.org a coupel of weeks ago..<br>><br>> "Problem Solved.<br>><br>> B5 Passat "Rear Outer Brake Hose" fits the MKII stock fitting and has the<br>> banjo-bolt that mates to the MK4 caliper.<br>><br>> Have a pair on the way from PAP as we speak....$19.95."<br>><br>> assumine the A2 fitting is teh same as the A1 fitting its all set!<br>><br>><br>> On 5/19/06, Brian Haygood <haygood@myway.com> wrote:<br>> ><br>> ><br>> > Re:  MKIV rear brake caliper adaptors for MK1's<br>> ><br>> ><br>> ><br>> > Here is the e-mail I sent to the guy with the best price on them by<br>> > far.
