Can I fit a master cylinder with just 4 outlets to my mk1 GTI ? I was going to put the brake light switch on the pedal instead.
Thanks

Yes you can, later cars and cabriolets used a brake pedal switch.

The Cabriolets also had the proportional valves for the rear brake shoes/wheel cylinders on the MC on opposite corners.

83 gti they could be on the fender passenger side or next to the rear axle as they are possibly weight controlled.
I have a 93 Cabriolet they are on the MC.

Mine has a valve near the rear beam where the rear brake pipes go into, then out to each wheel. Is this it?

Picture?
Just to be 100% sure before giving advice as it is part of important equipment needed on a car…

Still not sorted this but getting closer. There are 2 sizes of master cylinder for the cabriolet according to VW heritage, 22.2mm or 20.6mm. Any ideas on which will fit my servo and brake system please?
