Rear Brakes

Got a pair of MK4 Golf rear calipers. Made from aluminium so light and have a 38 mm piston opposed to the 54 mm pistons the Ford calipers had. Hopefully solve my brake issues. No matter what I tried I couldn't get a decent brake pedal. It just went to the floor each time no matter what bleeding, new brake lines, fittings or adjustments I made. 7/8'' master cylinder must not have been up to the task. Made up the brackets to mount them to he English axle.. Will keep the 240 mm Fiesta discs on the rear.

Also ordered a load of Aeroquie fittings and S.S braided brake hose and will do away with some of the hard lines.

    I'm an Irish student with a love for anything retro and Japanese made! In fact almost any old school car! I plan to build more cars in the near future and share my experience of it. Check out the blog to see what I've been up to!
