Your going to be waiting a while for those.

Better off using the Vauxhall 256 brake upgrade.

yep get on a vaux forum and snap them up dirt cheap

Whats the crack with Vauxhall gear then??

Mk2 Golf 256mm Discs

Cavalier 256mm Carriers + Calipers (Found on loads of big engined cars e.g Astra GTE, Cavalier SRi, Omega V6 loads)

Cavalier brake pads

Vauxhall Opel Omega B brake flexi

Bolts:12mm Diam x 25mm Shoulder Bolts. As they're 12mm diam the threaded section comes in the next std metric size down, M10 Coarse, (Which is correct thread to fit the mk1 Hubs). Length of threaded section is a std length based on thread so don't worry about that.

I did it for £50.

EDIT: I stole the bolt info and pic from the thread on the Mk1 Golf Owners Club - Respect to the original people who figured it out.

If not.. just get standard mk2 golf 16v carriers and run these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130665624364?ssP...984.m1438.l2649

at least you wont have any problems when fitting them!

You'll need to use 280mm discs though.

Make some adapters? I did, and its covered in my build thread

how much do u think audi 80 carriers and calipers are

how much do u think audi 80 carriers and calipers are

Around £100. These were hens teeth back in 2004 when i got some, so even worse now being as its only ceratin engine size Audi 80/90's with them. Bare in mind the newest Audi which had these carriers left the showroom in 1986.....

I'd get the Vauxhall setup now and save money for other bits!

I've got a set mate. PM me
