Trying to figure out what to do with mk1 brakes.
SO I've got a mk1 (caddy not golf soz) Doing a 1.8t swap, I have 256mm brake kit.. But the thing is- when i picked up my shell there was some stuff missing - namely ALL of the brake stuff.. there is no linkage bars across the rear of the bulkhead they've gone, no servo, no master i've got nothing. So I don't really care how I do it at this point - I need quick and cheap I am on a budget and need to get the car done asap ideally.. Now option 1: Put it back to stock.. £££ for the money it's looking like for the servo alone I could buy a full race set up.. Option 2: Run on just a master direct to pedal: as shown on this thread:
https://vwclub.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?t=198479 However, I have no idea where that master cylinder is from because literally everything I can find from any brand anywhere are all with pushrods designed to go onto a servo- only things with either a bolted end or a yoke to attach to pedal side are all for tractors. don't really want to start welding stuff onto a master cylinder to make it work and i can't find any conversion kits or anything Option 3: I run off of a clutch master cylinder (with correct ratings) which will have the yoke or bolt on- then I run a bias valve- however this means all of the breaking system will run through 1 output pipe then split off.. not really ideal if i get a hole or something means ill loose all breaking all around and not have a fun time while I see how the nearest tree tastes. option 4: I just find a generic slim line servo and cylinder and i drill some holes and mount it directly behind the pedal like you would typically get on the left hand drive models of the golf and caddy… BUT.. I fear (because I have not yet put the engine in) that this is a prettyy darn busy area in the 1.8t swap and I think i might have some clearance issues Namely I fear air piping might be an issue because its a K03 turbo setup and the pipes go Down not up and over like with the k04.. but I also don't know what else might be in the way.. So.. yeah no idea what to do and I can't really move on with the project until I get it figured out.. thanks!
