I have bought and renovated a second hand set of calipers and hubs from a Golf mk2 GTI 16v but I have just realized that the mk2 front hubs wont fit my Golf mk1 cabrio coilovers since the have diffrent width in that interface (20mm original Cabrio, 26mm mk2 GTI). (So stupid)
Since my coilovers are new and just fitted I do not want to get new front ones. What are my best options? Are there any hubs that will fit my coilovers and the mk2 calipers or do I need to get a conversion bracket on my old hub to fit the mk2 calipers?

for mk2 you need to:
1. grind the top down so it fits mk1 shocks
2. fit mk2 golf manual track rod ends
3. fit ball joint or track rod spacers to correct bump steer (mk2 steering arm attachment points are lower than mk1)

Re:
Ok, thanks for the input. Then I'm leaning towards using my old hubs, I guess I need these conversion brackets?rubjonny said
use mk1 bearing carriers is the easy way.

the mk1 256mm carriers are off the scirocco 16v and old square audi 80 and sometimes can set you back more than the complete 280mm setup put together. depends how lucky you are though

you can fit these with 280mm caliper adaptors worst case.
compare this measurement with your carriers, this was taken from a set of 256mm carriers:

the G60 pads are the thicker ones, can still use the 16v pads as same shape though. can help if you dont have a lot of clearance to the wheel
