1.1 on rear discs
First off i was going to fit some calipers off of the GTI, and drilled / slotted discs on the front. Which is all relitivly straight forwards. But i want to do somthing about the back, Namely Discs. I know that the conversion is possible for the GTI (using mk2 componants), but is it much different for the 1.1?
Any hints, tips or suggestions welcome.

also I don't think a mk1 ever really needs discs on the back, execpt for cosmetic reasons or for serious track weapons, plus the drums make much better handbrakes…

I have got 15 x 6.5" tyres and wheels! And Yokoholma rubber at that! There is a conversion kit on ebay, which i'm thinking about bidding on…. Saying that, its usually the front that lock from what i can tell!

I'm still going to do it in the future tho! i'm going to go to a scrappy to find the bits as soon as i have a free weekend. i'm going to be looking out for a 16v servo aswell! Hopefully by then i will hav found some GTI calipers aswell……
The brake kit went for ?55 bugger!
Cheers
btw, the reason for sorting out my brakes (besides locking up) is i'm going to be 'polishing' the inside of my engine and fitting bike carbies! :twisted:
