Show original supplier description
The Heritage Parts Centre Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit offers an upgrade for the rear braking system of your Volkswagen. This comprehensive kit includes essential components for converting your vehicle's rear to disc brakes, aiming to enhance stopping power and performance. The kit is designed for a range of Volkswagen models, specifically the Golf Mk1 (1975-1983), Golf Mk2 (1988-1992), Golf Mk1 Cabriolet (1979-1993), and Jetta (1979-1992). It contains a variety of parts, including left and right Mk4 Golf rear calipers, brake pads, Goodridge conversion brake lines, rear rotors, Mk2 stub axles, Mk2 Golf caliper carriers, a rear brake compensator, wheel bearing kits, backing plates, and all necessary bolts and washers. It's important to note that this conversion kit does not include the handbrake cables. The product information specifies that when using Mk4 calipers on a Mk1 Golf, standard Scirocco handbrake cables (often used with Mk2 Golf calipers) are not compatible, and longer versions will be required. A company called C and R Enterprises is mentioned as a supplier of suitable longer cables for use with Mk3 and Mk4 Golf calipers. The kit requires installation by a qualified professional, and fitting instructions are typically not provided.
