Handbrake Cable for rear disc brake conversion

[steveo9007]

I used mk4 golf calipers. You have to use the flat caliper carrier not the offset ones. Mk3 golf, some mk4 golfs and early A3 & A4 all use the flat caliper carrier.

don't suppose you got a pn for the caliper carriers ??

I haven't, sorry.

Ok just wondering what the difference is between offset and flat, I look online when I type in the search a few come up but they all look the same to me. Lol

Just had a quick look on Ebay

These will do the job.

When I was searching for caliper carriers I came across some VW Golfs with different offset rear discs. The carrier angles back from the bolt mounting holes.

Top stuff Thankyou kindly. They where the one I was looking at before. Got them on watch now so will get them at the end of the month. Cheers.

Just seen these whilst searching the same sort of vehicles, will these work as they combine the carrier and caliper

and thanks again for that pic about the tubing, i have another write up aswell from someone on face crook, where they cut the spring back on the handbrake cable but left about 1 1/4" of spring on cable to allow for the return correctly of the cable to avoid any sticking. So have it mapped out what i need to do. 

[steveo9007]

All bought and paid for now...I can wait now for all the kit to be sent me now. 

[hubcap61]

Cool, no problem.
Not had any issues with return sticking myself but there's always more than one way to skin a cat.

really interesting discussion, may I ask what adapter you are using to attach the brakes to the bearing carrier as that seems to be missing from the conversation ?

Ones from Epytec
