Get the 1kg tin not the areosol - the areosol is handi but don't last as long as a brush on tin and the tin is cheaper

Looks like this when put on steel… this was summer last year when I bought a spray tin of it very handi… not as cheap - 1kg tin is way better value

I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday

nice think! :wink:
Remember, VW made the last car in 1992. After that they started making vehicles.

BTW to do this conversion you need to reduce the length of the threaded bit on the end of the servo and also use the mounting plate that you find sanwiched between the 16v golf bulkhead and servo - this gives the extra few mills of adjustment… quite easy really just have to order up a master cylinder - spose euro cp will be best???
vw-man - I never did drawings as its simple to make - honest! when you look under the car you'll see where everything goes!

After:
Then got out the trusty zingazolve and gave it a coat! Rust free block for years to come! Have to give it an enamel coat of black now..
